Small achievement you managed to do today....How did it make you feel? Did it help you feel better today?

[Ggrand]

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...

today i had a hot shower even thoguh i was feeling anxious and upset and it helped me a bit to ground myself and feel refreshed.

i also took my clothes down from the washing line. theyve been there for literally 1 week.

Drank my favourite tea - green tea

blocked my ex after discovering he unblocked me

Enjoyed soaking up the sun this afternoon when I was on my bus trip into university

Loved the morning sunrise today, such a tranquil and peaceful scene

- took out the trash and collected bits of junk from the house to throw out with it

feels nice to look at a clear couch, and less cluttered coffee table

Still feel bad there's a lot more mess but it was nice to do that one thing.

hi !

mopped up my loungeroom

moved my shelf and mopped behind it

swept up and threw out trash in my kitchen

now need to take ut the trash

feels a bit awkward doing these small steps, because my kitchen is really messy at the moment and i feel like i'm neglecting it, but also feels less stressful and quite a nice pace to do one bit at a time. maybe it's a skill to "let it be" , and accept what is a bit much to take on, while slowly plugging a way at parts of the house i can change

Omg. I’m so glad l found this thread. I had big plans today, so far it’s 2pm and I’m still in my pjs. My vacuum ckeaner is plugged in but I’ve been stepping over it for a week. My kitchen is kind of a mess, but I know it won’t take long to clean up. It’s still not done. My bedroom has become a ‘floordrobe’ but again, it won’t take me long to fold the clothes, put them away and vacuum the floor.

I share custody of my kids with my ex and they are due here tonight for a couple of nights. I KNOW I need to clean up and go grocery shopping but ugh. I also know I’ll feel much better and more in control of my life if I do these few simple things. So. I’m going to have a shower, get dressed, put some music on a get going. You guys, can you please be my accountability buddy’s/cheer squad? I don’t think ‘normal’ people understand that sometimes achieving these small things are a big deal.

Ill report back 🙂

Hello Everyone...

Its really heartwarming to read all your achievements....So true Sleepy...small steps at a time...does help us...Moving your shelves out and washing the floor behind....how good is that....If you do bit by bit when your up to it....you are doing a good job...and I am proud of you..

Banana...I know to well, how hard it is to get out of bed..shower...get dressed is at times...I have spent many days in bed....Not Wanting to get up...then my support worker rings me and says she will be out in a couple of hours...That’s a huge motivation for me..I need to prove I can care myself....so up I get....

Okay...my achievement today...was the other shop worker didn’t turn up today at my volunteer job...I was asked if I could help in the shop today....something I avoid always....because strangers are scary to me....But I did it today...walked outback a few times...but I did go back in.....and I’m quite pleased with myself....

Hope everyone has had a good day..

Hello everyone....🤗hugs..

I started a diamond painting a few days back...it’s very time consuming and a couple of hours went passed so quickly..

Today I got out of bed.,and actually made it😂...swept my floors and now for today I think that’s enough..so I’m now snuggled up on the lounge writing here....

Did you achieve something today...doesn’t matter how small....remember..any little thing is an achievement...

Hugs to everyone..,🤗..

Grandy, those diamond kits look so intricate, you must have string eyes.

Despite the bitterly cold wind I walked to the shops and back. I have a list to of things I have been avoiding. I will try to do one at least.
