What are three small (or big) achievements you’ve had today? Let’s cheer each other on!

Hello all,

Sometimes just doing the basics is so hard. It can be tough not to get down on ourselves when we’re struggling with things that ‘should’ be easy.

But we deserve to celebrate even the smallest achievements, because they are really feats of strength when you’re unwell. It’s ok if you can’t do everything. We know you’re doing your best, and that’s enough ☺️

What are 3 small (or big) achievements that you’ve had today?

For me: 1. I washed my hair

2. I drank two glasses of water

3. I sat out in the sun for 15 minutes

How bout you? Let’s cheer ourselves and each other on!

Hey Annie, thank you for saying so!

Your achievements are big aswell, and they sound lovely. I hope you had a good time with your grandchild and breakfast with your family.

Hi quirkywords,

That's great to hear- I love catching up with old mates too, it's a special kind of magic, huh?

My one big achievement - or at least big to me.

Yesterday, for the first time in I don't know how long (but years), I cooked a special meal. For some, the meal wasn't that special. I made lasagna. I make lasagna all the time, and it's always good.

But yesterday, for the first time in so many years, I made it just for me. I didn't do it to impress a date, or to comfort a partner. I didn't even make it for a friend. It was just for me. Because I realised yesterday, for the first time in my life, that I am worth my very best. Just me. I am worth it.

Hi Deckt,

I love self-realisation of self-worth and revelations as much as the next person, but when they involve lasagna, that's just to good! Cooking for the self is so wholesome and can be so great for mental wellbeing and just having a really fun time by yourself. Do you have anything else that you like cooking for you and just yourself only?

[Deckt]

Hey Tay100!

Ehhhh..... I'm a people pleaser. I've almost never cooked just for myself. I don't want to hurry into another relationship, but I don't want to keep cooking for one, either. Mostly because I'm gonna be eating this lasagna for a week. 🤣

That's lovely to hear Blufftuff, good on you! I'm so proud of you, all of those are huge achievements. I'm glad that you're proud of yourself too, you should be. Well done!
