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!

Brilliant effort @Maggie. 15 minutes on the iwalk is a great achievement to celebrate on its own. And then add in the rest of your day. WOW!!!
Worth celebrating for sure.

Hi @utopia, @Maggie, @BlueBay and everyone,
Today:
A big day by my standards, a good one, though I've felt uncomfortably hyper all day. Also, I'm not telling you about yesterday. Or that I cancelled medical appointment on Monday and friend get-together on Tuesday, so I could sleep.

I tend to list every small thing I do, @BlueBay, so it looks more than it is in some ways. I have come from a place where I was hardly getting out of bed for years, and still have lots of days like that. Celebrating everything I do, even if small, seems to help with my motivation overall.
