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 might repeat myself here on this thread but I am really proud of everyone here.

I will continue to keep saying it because you guys definitely deserve happy awesome vibes!

I had a bit of a low day the other day, my small achievement is just making sure yesterday to absolutely do nothing except the things that make me happy even if that meant being lazy!

Great thread, thank you.

I cleaned my loungeroom and kitchen. I also did a few loads of washing. I cooked dinner although I couldn't eat much, I just have no appetite at the moment. I didn't go to work today because I only had 2 hours sleep last night but I'm glad I managed to get some things done at home. Made me feel a bit better.

Hello Everyone..

Well done everyone for all your achievements...

I did go outside today and pulled a few bindi’s out of my lawn... some of them did stick in me...ouch they do hurt...then cooked a pot of curried chicken with rice..,made enough for a few nights to freeze for another nights...

OhmeOhmy...Washing is something that I put off for as long as I can....the washing part is okay....but it’s the after parts that I lack motivation for...the hanging out of the clothes...then bringing them back in....folding them and putting them away....can be very hard to do...not to mention ironing...not that I iron anymore..but I think lots of people do....

Animals are lucky in a way...they don’t have to wash any clothes...

Kind thoughts everyone...

Grandy..

I went out to meet relatives of partner when I had no sleep and wanted to stay home.

I was tired but managed to get through the day by smiling and chatting.

I agree Ggrand, washing is the easy part, everything that comes afterwards I lack motivation for as well. I now have a mountain of clothes to sort and fold. Animals are lucky lol

Quirkywords you did well to get through meeting new people on no sleep. good on you 🙂

Oh, yes, today...just before I go to bed, today, this morning my helper phoned to make sure I was up & was going to be ready to go out somewhere, even though, she'd forgotten our conversation about her not taking me anywhere today because I need to have her take me to the ophthamlomogist this coming Monday, & after we are going to a park...so, instead of saying how she was mistaken, that we had no scheduled outing, I said, okay, I could be ready by the time she would arrive.

I can recall times when things like this would have so flustered me I wouldn't want to even try... I''d've said 'no'.

& although the walking became difficult, I know it does me good to be making the effort.

I can remember when just sticking to being ready for anything by 10an would've seemed impossible, or something I could not be sure I could manage no matter how important the appointment, iwhen it just seemed too much to expect of myself.

So I rush around, get a bit panicky, but I can be ready, (well 95% ready).😼

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️for everyone, & MMMarshmallows, too. )Just watch out for my favourite mmMarshmallow - I haven't found it, yet!)

Hello Grandy & all,

Today, I made one of those hone calls to a business, feeling awkward & embarrassed because I feel I ought to already know the answer to the questions I had to ask. I felt too uncertain about trusting what I thought I knew. Yeah, I did know it... I can't say I'm particularly happy about phoning for this info, not even though I took hold of my anxiety & insecurity, to do it - because of how I don't trust myself. .. relying on someone else for thie info I already had.

I feel like a pretzel! (only have mmMarshmallows...) 😼

Today I

was patient with a very annoying person .

[sbella02]

Quirkywords, I commend you for that. As someone who works in customer service, that kind of experience is so typical in my line of work. Patience is a gift, it takes incredible strength to maintain patience with somebody who is being difficult or refusing to listen

I resisted telling a loved one, I told you so.
