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 Alexlisa,

This is a wonderful idea for a thread! Thank you so much for sharing it with us.

1) Getting up in time to make it to Church

2) Talking to 2 Church visitors I had never met before

3) Filling the bird baths early when I originally thought I would do it tomorrow

Cheers all from Dools

2. Cooked 3 healthy meals.

3. Tidied up the house nice and clean

thanks.

same, these are for yesterday

Ok. Yesterday was a hard day, but I got through and had some massive (for me) achievements.

1. I ate a healthy dinner

2. I got through a stressful NDIS meeting. I cried a lot, and that’s ok

3. I walked 30 minutes to the meeting

Today is all about self-care 😌

Hello everyone,

I love the idea of this thread! Achieving day to day things can be hard some times and celebrating the little things can help.

1. I got up and changed out of my PJs (instead of wearing them all day)

2. I took my dog for a half hour walk.

3. I got outside and watered the garden.

Ok it’s been a difficult few days for me.

Three achievements I’m proud of for yesterday are :

1. I went to my NDIS review meeting.

2. I cried during most of the meeting because I was so anxious, but I didn’t get too down on myself. I’m doing my best and being myself and yesterday that meant crying, and that’s ok.

3. I ate a proper dinner. Which is a BIG achievement for me because I’ve not being prioritising my health enough lately.

How about you? Did you have any big or small achievements today? Somedays just getting out of bed is the act of a superhero, and that’s ok.
