What have you achieved recently??

Thank you, I'm glad you like it Debbie. I've tried posting here of late but it's rarely working.

Here goes...

Recent achievement was attending a hospital appointment without having a meltdown. I was so nervous beforehand but then when I was there it went so well and I felt immensely proud afterwards.

edit: extra achievement my post worked!

I like this thread (so thankyou, A=BCD) as, like the '3 Good Things' it makes me think in positive ways.

So, I've finished a lot of keywording for a photography website I upload to.

Phew (mops brow).

Getting a post to show on this buggy forum.

Thanks to Sharon Mod and Debbie for testing in this thread. Hopefully it will be working properly again before long.

Small achievement for me yesterday, I had to go in to town and I caught the bus. There was only two other passengers on it, a woman and her daughter, so it was mostly a peaceful journey. I rarely catch the bus but yesterday was a good experience.

I'm hoping that they give me XP (experience points) that I can trade in for new powers in my next life. (video gaming joke)

It looks like a nice calming space. 

Well done Berrybunny! 

I’m in N. Ireland and we say “back in the saddle/on the horse” too. Aren’t expressions and idioms sometimes strange things. in the English language some make literal sense, others such as “we caught the bus by the skin of our teeth” (we narrowly made it to the bus) are nonsensical. 

I think it depends on the person’s personality and circumstances. If a person is into mindful detachment, goal setting and achievement mightn’t be a high priority. Others might thrive by achieving multiple things throughout the day. Some people find life such a struggle that getting out of bed in the morning deserves celebration. Now that I’m retired, I like and need multiple mini goals in my day in order to keep pace with the rest of the world. 

There's a thin line between encouragement & toxic positivity. 

Sometimes it can get blurred, but hopefully not here. 

I think it is more about helping to focus on things you can be proud of. This can be writing a book or even just stepping outside on a rough day. But it of course shouldn’t turn into pressure. This is quite a safe place to be proud of something others would think ridiculous. 

Honestly, sometimes it can even be an achievement to simply bumble through your day without breaking down.

Why do we have to acieve things? Why can't we just bumble through our days?

Well done you! Your reflection on yesterday’s events is a positive exercise. 

That’s great! I hope you could take something positive from it even though you struggled.

Congrats that's fab you just kept going some thing to be really proud of <3 

Funny, we say “to get back in the saddle/on the horse” in Germany. 
And thanks! I’ve not always been able to do that and I don’t know yet if the missing cool-down-phase might trigger a meltdown later on. But for now, I’m happy to be able to do stuff.

Well done with getting straight "back on the bike", as we say in the UK (trying again)

Might be a bit oversharing, but I had a meltdown in public yesterday and managed nothing more than to get home (still crying), then lay in bed, being a bit on this forum and watching comfort shows even though I had to study and go to my gym class (didn’t manage to do that). The more proud I am of being able to get up this morning, go to school (even though my lessons started later today), write a math exam (which went quite good) and stick around for P.E. even though it’s not important for my final mark and I knew I forgot my earplugs.

Seems silly, but I didn’t think I’d be able to do that after yesterday, especially after not really managing to study at all.
