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.

Feeling so tired today, I have just managed to write a couple (as it turns out( posts - so hard, feeling I can't think as clearly as I want, struggling to recall words, so I'm happly I've written to sbella's thread! Scrapped one, had a snooze, came out & tried again, & then thought, there's still more... for me, there always seems to be more... Lately, I'm relieved to get into words even small amounts.. 😺🙀

My adult child. O pls i Ed how I out my weight issues on her and she wouldn’t do that to her child. I just listened and changed the topic as In their eyes it is one fault in a long list.

pleased I did not cry or get angry. We all have our memories we cling to.

Today, after sorting out that I had the wrong phone number entered into my so&so phone, I called not only him, but someone else, too. I know I dont' keep in touch with people as often as would be necessary to maintain or develop a friendship. & not sure how often is enough, either... but nevermind, I phoned them today. It was good to hear their voices after so long.

I did not feel like going for a walk but I made an effort in the cold wind.

Today my small achievement is getting out of the house! This is an achievement for me because my skin has been breaking out a lot which has made me extra self conscious. I decided to just face the world and honestly I'm really glad that I did!

Today I made a silly mistake and decided I would laugh and not get upset.

Hi Grandy & everyone,

Today I got myself up & put mysheets into the washing machine, with a few other items, early enough so that I got them dry in my dryer in time for my helper to get them on the bed again! (I wan't risking hurting my arm again.). 😺

I know how difficult it is to get out when feeling self-conscious about appearance I still get that way, but I do have an advantage to being blind: I can't see if anyone is looking at me as if they are disgusted by any aspect of my appearance anymore! More rationaltionally, I remind myself - what the heck do their opinions matter to me? If they got to know me, my spots & bumps & weight would be not so important, & if they don't even try to get to know me beyond my appearance, well, maybe they are not people I don't want in my life anyway.

Take care, lovely Grandy, lots of water, healthy foods, fresh & not so processed, eh? Isn'tthat what they say? I think it does some good... 😺 ...If only so we know we are caring well for ourselves.
