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...

Yay....I did get home today....a lot later then I thought...but home....

Today my small achievement was getting out for a dog walk, despite the cold weather and my partner being too busy with work meetings to come along. It was a pleasant walk and it energized me once I got home to get a few things done (cooking, tidy up). Worth it.

Today my small achievement is just choosing to take it easy today and not be tough on myself!

Today, I worked on my research report after days of procrastinating, and it felt so good to actually get some work done.

I am so proud of you @sbella02!

Ggrand, that sounds absolutely amazing, like something out of a movie.

I organised some of my books , I had put it off for a while. It was only one box but was a start.

sorted out a group of old emails I had been putting off.

A few small achievements today. Finished off an assignment that's due tomorrow (in true procrastination fashion), updated my weekly planner, got into bed before 12.30am 🙂
