Celebrate Today

Celebrate Today

I'd like to start this post so that we can celebrate the things we did today. Whether big or small steps, they all need to be celebrated as working towards good mental health.

Lets not worry about the list we made and the things we didn't do.

Let's just focus on those things we did manage to do.

So today (Monday)

* I had a shower

* I washed my clothes

* hung my clothes up to dry

* cooked dinner

What did you do today?

Let's celebrate!

Good idea @utopia!

On Monday I

  • did some paperwork
  • went for two little walks
  • tidied my nest - sweeping

Let's see what today brings

Hi @utopia and @frog

Yes, nice idea to concentrate on what we have achieved rather than ponder what we didnt. Think positive in other words.

Monday for me:

  • I cooked a nice dinner last night, which hubby actually appreciated
  • I finally managed to get a load of washing dry after several wet overcast days
  • I found time to do some art, a crossword puzzle and a difficult sudoku
  • I caught up with a sibbling (my older sister) by giving them a call, something I'd been putting off for a while

Not sure how I'll go today, but remaining hopeful of finding something more to add to my tomorrow list.

Brilliant effort. You both achieved some good tasks.

My son loved the fried rice I cooked.

I'm still trying to get our washing dry.

Well done

Let's Celebrate!

Brilliant idea for a thread, @utopia.

Today so far I have:

  • got up earlier than my sleepiness wanted me to
  • had a shower after 5 days without one
  • caught the bus to the doctors
  • walked to and from the bus stop (about 1.5km)
  • made my bed (twice cos I had a daytime nap).

Hooray for us all!

Re: Celebrate Today

Well it sounds like there are lots of achievements to celebrate over the past two days. Well done everyone! @utopia @Mazarita @BlueBay @Former-Member @frog and anyone else reading or posting.

Today wasnt a great day for me, but I did manage to:

  • Take hubby to Bunnings to buy a new climbing rose (something he's been wanting to do for ages, but hasnt been well enough to walk the isles - I give him a trolly to help prop him up today ) Anyway rose purchased!
  • Install a new front doorbell myself, after also buying it at Bunnings today. It works ... yay! And even looks good. Hubby told me I couldnt do it myself.
  • Speak to my brother who was in a distressed state, and I think he felt better after our talk.
  • Put aside the insults and abuse from hubby last night and am trying to treat today as a new day.

So thats what I'm celebrating today.
