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

[Alexlisa]

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!

Hi all

I dropped food to my sick son-in-law

Washed my hair

Sat out in sun with my cat for a while

[Alexlisa]

Sitting with your cat outside sounds wonderful Annie. I know just stopping and giving ourself permission to do that can be hard sometimes.

For me yesterday:

1. I sent an email that was making me nervous

2. I went in a shop I’ve wanted to visit but been too anxious to enter

3. I bought up something hard with my psychologist

New day new achievements! I have to admit i did alittle happy dance after these... be along few days

1. I met my new psychologist and only cried once 🙂

2. I went grocery shopping on my own and made it through a whole trip

3. I manage to finally complete colouring in one page of a wildlife book without giving up half way in
