What Have You Done Today?

[hotchocolatey]

Hi all. I thought I'd start a thread for those who are finding it tough going at the moment. The idea is to write about anything positive you have done .... a walk, bought yourself some flowers, went to the park with your kids etc.

Please also feel free to say if you've had a tough day as well if you need to let off steam.

I'm really struggling with a lack of motivation at the moment due to a depressive episode, but today I have managed to:
Sort out my office so it's nice and tidy
Fit a baby gate
Do two loads of washing
Tidied, dusted and vacuumed the sitting room

I still need to:
Cook dinner
Bathe the children
Put the clean bed linen on the beds
Have a shower

I'm struggling....

Woke up around 7.30 with 5 week old co-sleeping baby. Played with him until DP joined from spare room. Had shower and breakfast then went for 6km walk. Now DP is cooking roast beef and I've watched the rugby with baby. Early night later,

Got up late, done nothing except go for a brief walk. Wish things were different.

I've been quite productive today to blank out the bad thoughts.

Cleaned out the bunnies
2 loads washing
Changed a bed
Cleaned 4 bathrooms
Hoovered and mopped
Emptied dishwasher
Heard DS read
Helped DCs make a model rocket
Went for 2 walks.

I had quite a good day today.

I went out for a walk
Did some ironing
Changed the sheets
Cleaned the bathroom

I'm going to have an early night

Cleaned the whole house. It feels great to have everything tidy ready to put the decorations up next week. Changed all the beds, dusted everywhere, bathrooms, mopping etc. Done kids of washing too. Took the dog for a nice walk. Great day.

Had Christmas Day ! Ho Ho Ho

I agree. Sometimes all we can do is stay busy - that & practicing gratitude are the most effective approaches I find.
