Hi everyone..
Their are days when just getting out of bed is a huge achievement...Other days we can achieve things like washing up the dishes or clothes, sweeping the floors, mopping the floors..very mundane and automatic robot like chores for the mentally well...They do these chores without even thinking about them...for people struggling with their mental health..these are huge tasks...
Very often I’ll get my vacuum cleaner out to vacuum ...then it will sit their for days, me looking at it, walking over it...until I can get motivated enough to vacuum..after I do find the motivation to vacuum...I am pleased with myself...
Right now I have a small foot cycling peddle machine, sitting on my front veranda..I got it out last week..to start exercising..it’s still their, I’m still looking at it...My thoughts each night is I’ll use it for a few minutes tomorrow..
My car hasn’t been washed getting close to a year now I think...Today I did managed to wash it....and discovered that it has a nice shine on it.....I did it...I achieved something positive today..which made me feel better in myself...
Have you achieved a little something today...and how did it make you feel...If you want to share that achievement it might make other people a bit more motivated to achieve something they need/want to do..
Looking forward to hearing about your achievement....and how it made you feel..
Little steps and achievements can lead to bigger steps..and bigger achievements...
My kindest and most caring thoughts...everyone.
Grandy...

Hi everyone...
I mowed my lawns today....without the catcher..much easier and lighter to push the mower....plus grass clippings going back into the earth......
Well done everyone...I think the bathroom is one of the hardest rooms to clean....after the kitchen...
Walking say for me is easy....but I do know for a lot of people it’s hard to do that...when someone is nasty to us....You done very good Quirky...
I had to wash my hair today after I mowed..it was mostly green with the grass clippings going everywhere.....Won’t straighten it tonight..will be hard to brush tomorrow morning 😣...
Harpbird....I think I will sleep in tomorrow....
Enjoy your evening everyone...Cheers to us all...🥛🥛🥛..

Grandy, GREEN hair is in fashion atm lol... my youngest daughter's beautiful hair is now green and blue! and I helped her dye it lololol.
Ahem Grandy this was a "small achievement" thread and you go and MOW YOUR LAWN!
That's a thousand high fives there young lady lol.
Well done YOU!
My "small" achievement today was to be POSITIVE to one of the most negative people I've ever met. Well worked with is more accurate.
THE most negative person at work just GRUNTS when I say hello lolol! omg.
The lady comes 2nd.
Anyway - lady asked me how I was and I (BRAVELY) said "Happy happy".
She rebuffed but hey I said how I felt!
It's funny that she's so negative when she has an audience... when it's just the 2 of us, she's alot more pleasant.
Great achievements everyone!
Love EM

Not really an achievement in my eyes, but:
Contacted my Psychiatrist about something traumatic that happened online for me yesterday, haven't heard back yet but as the receptionist said, at least he's aware.

good work all!!
well done on pushing urself that tiny bit - it is all amazing!!
Thanks harpbird and shelll - i am glad u can understand the difficulty sometims tackling the bathroom. I will try now to take the rags to be washed. It really helps to breeak things into teeny steps.
