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:

Re: What I did today - for small achievements and cheers
 

Well done! I know how hard even that can be. :smile2:

Re: What I did today - for small achievements and cheers
 

i struggle with tidying up but my flat is generally tidy:smile2::smile2::smile2:

Re: What I did today - for small achievements and cheers
 

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.

Re: What I did today - for small achievements and cheers
 

^ congrats on getting the job GinInTeacups :thumbpur:

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

Re: What I did today - for small achievements and cheers
 

I like this thread, well done everyone :thumbpur:

I've been continuing my daily exercise, and I feel a lot better for it :)

Re: What I did today - for small achievements and cheers
 

i ate healthy food and went for a 45 minute walk:smile2::smile2::smile2:

Re: What I did today - for small achievements and cheers
 

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

Re: What I did today - for small achievements and cheers
 

@gamerguy & loner1: well done guys with your healthy lifestyle. Hoping for many more of these entries. :dancing_b

@oilslick: good for you! Have fun with it!:smile2:

Re: What I did today - for small achievements and cheers
 

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!

Re: What I did today - for small achievements and cheers
 

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.

Re: What I did today - for small achievements and cheers
 

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:

Re: What I did today - for small achievements and cheers
 

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:

Re: What I did today - for small achievements and cheers
 

Yeah I hear the people there are really good fun especially that guy with the glasses;) well done today:thumbpur:

oh nearly forgot to say, I passed my theory test:d.

great post by the way kitri

Re: What I did today - for small achievements and cheers
 

:dancing_b congrats! What kind of theory test? Driving license?

: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:

Re: What I did today - for small achievements and cheers
 

theory driving test:wave:

Re: What I did today - for small achievements and cheers

Re: What I did today - for small achievements and cheers

Contacted someone from the SA group I go to and asked if they wanted to meet up

Re: What I did today - for small achievements and cheers
 

Well done everybody! I *like* this thread...

Just shot an elastic band across the office. totally missed the person I was aiming at - but hit someone else. And then blamed someone else.

Ha!!

Re: What I did today - for small achievements and cheers
 

:hug2: aaw... next time you'll get the right one, just keep practising!
:devil:

Re: What I did today - for small achievements and cheers
 

you bet I will. one day I will zing the back of the head I am actually aiming for.

Oh - and another thing I did - I sat in the coffee shop without any props - no book, no paper, didn't even fiddle with my mobile. Just sat there, drinking my coffee and looking around. Looking at the other people there - not staring in a creepy way lawl! Just looking around. So calm I was. I think I am starting to really kick this thing in the butt!

Re: What I did today - for small achievements and cheers
 

I set a new personal best for the overhead press.

Re: What I did today - for small achievements and cheers
 

^Whatever it exactly means... congratulations:thumbpur:

Just came back home after doing childcare and foodshopping. I am pretty exhausted now but glad that I somehow still manage to do that job. It's only once or twice a week for three hours, but for the last few weeks it has become even harder for me not to quit. So every week I'm still hanging in there is a success for me, because it means something inside me is still fighting against letting everything slip away.

Treated myself to a bunch of flowers that are now standing on my bedside table, a luxury but looking at them makes me happy, so that's a good thing, too. :)

Re: What I did today - for small achievements and cheers
 

good stuff kitri

Re: What I did today - for small achievements and cheers

Going out for a run tonight and written a plan out of goals for myself!

Re: What I did today - for small achievements and cheers
 

:eekpurple want a new challenge? :d if you're bored...
:thumbpur: great! It's good to have goals and it sounds like you want to go for them :smile2:




I went to dance class in the morning. Though it was horrible in many different ways I went home with a new found determination to a)get a grip again on my diet (too much chocolate/binge eating the last couple of weeks, cos feeling crappy), b) stop dehydrating myself and shove myself more water down the throat, c) find a way to get in shape again and d) I want that feeling of the dance studio, the barre as my comfort zone back. I miss it so much.

a) and b) accomplished for today :), c) is a huge problem. I'll try to figure something out though. d) will come when c) is achieved.

On my way home while sitting in the car at some red lights I exchanged a few words with a man in a car next to me. :eekpurple I was friendly (!!!), I didn't pull out my rifle gun though he was kind of flirty. So yay for not being on the evening news!:d

Re: What I did today - for small achievements and cheers
 

I walked down to Tesco without keeping my hands in my pockets. Although I was scratching my face and head frequently.

Re: What I did today - for small achievements and cheers
 

I asked two women if they wanted their picture taken together in front of the Mona Lisa.

Then I ran off with their camera.

Only joking. Or am I.......
