What I did today - for small achievements and cheers
 
This thread is meant for the small or big everyday achievements. Sometimes the smallest steps are the hardest to do, so lets give ourselves a pat on the back for everything we managed to do today! Nothing is too insignificant here, everything counts. :clapping::thumbsup:

This is meant as a place for positive thoughts and inspiration, for cheering and applauding each other, not so much for posts about having achieved nothing and feeling useless.

If you haven't achieved anything today, you can always try again tomorrow! :grouphug:

Great idea :thumbsup:

I woke up feeling really low today and wanted to just stay in bed but I pushed myself to get up and shower and tidy through the flat :smile2:

Well done everyone :thumbpur:

This week I attended an interview with 3 interviewers and got the job. Today I made an effort to chat to the man putting our central heating system in, even made him tea as well.

I just booked dentist and optician appointments over the phone which, despite a bit of stuttering, went well - phewey :)

I replied to someone who answered my pen pal ad even though I'm terrified of it turning out to be a complete disaster.

got out of bed and took bath
vacuumed
cleaned bath and kitchen
did some laundry

that's more than I've done the whole week :dancing_b. Coping with housework has become more and more of a problem. So yay!

Well done kit' it's hard work, so WELL DONE!
I quite like cleaning things but i've always heard people hating it. I find doing the dishes quite theraputic as it happens. But when i'm depressed i can't be bothered doing anything.

What i did today.... i cleaned my bedroom.

I went to the dentist this morning for the first time in about 10 years, which was quite an achievement for me :1pirate:. Unfortunately, no doubt as a result of the aforementioned dentist avoidance, one of my teeth is so decayed I now have to go to hospital to have it removed. :purplethumb:

Also I went to a splendid SAUK meet today! :spin:

I went to my SA group even though I was running late (got there 1/2 hour late), read out an article on acceptance in front of 18 people and then stayed at the pub for a few hours after chatting to people :)

It's not something run on SA-UK but it's linked as my homepage on my profile if anyone is interested, it's a great group :smile2:

:hug2: That's great! I used to make jokes, too, everytime I was given a compliment. It wasn't easy to finally accept compliments with a smile and be actually happy about them, but a) people start to make compliments more often when received with a thanks and a smile, b) its becoming more fun making compliments in return and c) it can be such a great boost! So :dancing_b:dancing_b:dancing_b :thumbpur:
