Celebrating the little wins 🏆

[WalkAwaySugarbear]

To perk up my moods this year, I am celebrating the little wins. I'm looking for a thought reset because I spent last year and many before that being tired, grumpy, on edge and pessimistic and I have had enough of it. I have emotionally absorbed the constantly awful news and the comment sections on social media are appalling. No more.

I want to be cheerful and enjoy my life. I'm actively seeking, observing, enjoying and appreciating the tiny gold pebbles of whimsy, satisfaction, pleasure dotted throughout my day.

Does anyone else do something similar?

My little wins today:
I made the perfect poached egg for breakfast. I have caught up on all outstanding queries at work. My favourite seat at the steam room was free. I managed to use all the gym equipment in my best order because no one else was using it. I've had an "everything" shower today and had a bit of a home spa session and now feel so good.

Yes! I've started a gratitude journal to try and break me out of an anxiety and negative thoughts spiral.

Today's little win was, after I got out of the bath, I didn't need to sit down immediately to recover from the effort but was able to remain standing for long enough to dry myself. I've been ill and this was the first time I've managed it.

Tonight's big win: won the pub quiz!

A visit from family earlier tonight. I really enjoyed their company. 💞

EDIT: Not a 'little' win, but still a win.

Had a lovely lie-in then made a big pot of coffee. I savoured every sip. It was a productive, peaceful day and I enjoyed it immensely.
