- Remained calm when dealing with my sister today when I collected my cat from her house

- Fed my cat

- Booked my cat into the vet for tomorrow after noticing she had a minor eye infection 

- Took 2 bags of cans to the collection depot for some money 

- Looked over my emails

- Watched some of the French Open semi finals 

- Worked on my crochet blanket

- Did some grocery shopping at the supermarket today

That’s all from me.

@Judi9877  That’s massive!

The only thing that gets me out of bed is coffee and meditation.

Great stuff @Judi9877 I don't know what it is which hormones get released after a completion of goals but it always feels good yeah? I like how we can feel good about by doing things we need to do. Some kind of endorphin rush or something. Hello @Glisten on the way through! Good luck today @TAB

I am new to this site and I have been scrolling through the discussions and I came across the " Daily Achievements ".

I almost cried.  What a fabulous post. As a person who has been dealing with chronic depression,  PTSD,  anxiety and panic disorder for 24 years,  I  am so proud to see people encouraging and supporting our small Daily Achievements.  Fantastic job to everyone who is struggling but managed to push through and achieve something today. 

Today I have - had a shower ( I struggle with this when I am quite unwell)

- swept and mopped the house 

- talked to some friends. 

  I look forward to following others Achievements on the wellness journey.

Aww yay @dehaha it warms me to know how meaningful this space is for you! Kudos on your achievements today 😊

I think celebrating the small wins is so important. Like we can berate ourselves over a simple mistake, so we should also get to praise the little successes with just as much fervor!

Anyway, glad to have you with us, hope you find it to be a warm and welcoming community!
