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!

Hello EM

Thank you for your kind words. Yes I certainly need to look after myself first before I can help others.. you take too likewise.

1. Attended and survived a job interview despite my anxiety. I think I will get a job offer but I am still undecided. Still feel anxious but glad it is out of the way.

2. Managed to feed my 10month old baby with nice healthy meals. Though I need to remember to eat aswell.

3. Went for a 50min walk. It is a bit cold today but it also felt so refreshing.
