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.

Hello Grandy,

Welcome to the "I wash my car with a broom" club.  I've been washing my car that way for years now.  That makes it sound like I wash my car often.... nope... it only gets washed once in a blue moon, usually when I can't avoid seeing how much it needs one. 

I've just found the broom so much easier, not having to bend down, or stretch to reach hard to get to bits.  I can understand how easy it was to break your antenna, I nearly snapped off the back window wiper the first time I tried using the broom.  

I have my car booked in for a service in a few weeks... will I find the motivation to give it a wash beforehand... probably not... 🙄 but I will do a quick clean of the inside... maybe  🤣

hugs

Hi Paws and everyone…..🤗🩷,

What’s the saying..”Great minds think alike”…😂..

Im a bit like you, my car gets washed maybe once a year…twice if I feel up to it…I can wash my car, drive it and it’s like I never washed it…country roads are so dusty 😁….plus we have hard water and it leaves white streaks over the entire car, so I mostly wash it when I know rain is coming, leave my car out so the rain can wash away those white streaks….

I got up before the sun today….made a cuppa tea, and had it outside while watching the sunrise….then I washed up, done some washing and now sitting out front again…this afternoon I do need to give fur girl a shave and bath this afternoon….Oh she knows when I am getting ready for her and then a game of hide and seek, catch me if you can starts…🐕🏃‍♂️..😂😂…

Have a nice day everyone,

Hugs, love and care 🤗🩷🌹…

Hi Grandy and quirkywords, long time no see...

Hey everyone,

I'm just having a read through this thread to catch up. My small achievement for today has been hopping back onto the forums after a few weeks of absence. I haven't really had much time to myself since it's a pretty heavy assessment period, so it's nice to have a bit of time to read through everyone's little achievements here. 😊

Hello Dear quirky, On The Road, sbella and everyone….

I hope you’re all doing good..

I’ve not been well and haven’t done anything in and around my home for around a month+ …except the usual washing up dishes and washing clothes…

Today, while sitting out on my veranda I realised how dirty it was  with dried up leaves and dirt, lots of dirt in the corners and spider webs running along my windows and walls…I started to sweep it, but their was too much so I got out my small leaf blower and blew the leaves and dirt into a corner, picked it all up, then got my hose and hosed all the walls, windows and wooden floors down with water…I have lots of succulents in unusual pots on the veranda, they also got a good watering and the pots look clean again….Now hoping no more winds for at least a week 😂🙃..

Hugs everyone, 🤗🤗🤗🤗.

Grandy..

Hello Everyone,

Grandy and Paws, you have given me new ideas for washing my car 🚗🧽👍 I have to admit, it’s not something I do very often. Sbella, I hope your studies and assessment period have gone well. And good to hear from you Quirky and On the Road.

My achievement was putting my washing through last night. I got back home after travelling on Friday and often my clothes that need washing just sit there for ages. I’m not sure what it is, but it’s like all the effort of the travelling causes a kind of inertia when I get back. But this time the washing is through and drying on the line right now.

Grandy, it’s tough being unwell and trying to get things done, but well done for all the work you did on the verandah. I hope the winds have stayed away. I watered the plants on my porch last night. One of them looked not so good after me being away two weeks, but they’re still going.

Take care everyone 🤗
