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...

I love those diamond pictures, I have done 9 so far and started a huge peacock one.must get back to it.

Picked up my lil miss

enjoyed a chia latte

lathered my feet in cream, put them in a freezer bag then put my slipper on over that and left them for hours.

well doen everyone for ur artwork and self-care, taking time for u. What a great example and inspiration to us all

today i cleaned my bathroom. didn't stop til it was done. Phew. Started with my least fave task.

I also folded laundry and put it neatly on my couch, to be put away soon i hope. Things were getting so messy here, and my kitchen is still a lot, but these small steps were huge for me, after how low I have felt of late.

Today I managed to resist the urge to say something sarcastic to someone amd to instead say something positive.

i planned ahead enough to eat an early home-made dinner that had nutrients

i also had some takeaway today whn i had no energy to cook. I fed myself good food today.

I actually text a friend and told her I SH. She was so concerned. I even told her I SH last Monday. She said so was so happy I told her and not to feel bad and to ring her day or night if ever I need to. I kinda feel relieved.

I was feeling a little overwhelmed at all the things I needed to do yesterday. They didnt need to be done by any certain time but just knowing I needed to do multiple things got to me a bit.

So I broke them down into steps. Step 1 - this thing. Now step 1 is done I can move onto step 2.

It actually worked really well and I got everything I needed to do done.

Thanks sleepy21, I have kept my SH-ing secret for over 36 years. Even though I stopped intill 2 years ago and the loss of my grandson brought it back out and now the none stop chronic pain .

I was upset by something that happened in my family that I felt was unfair.

So I decided to realise I can’t change another persons behaviour snd life can be unfair. I would be strong and react to the situation. I felt good about my decision.
