What Little Victories Do You Celebrate?

When I am patient with my daughter. I am also very proud of the times when I see my daughter feeling content, happy, or safe.

All of them! Anything that is a 1% improvement or more. Considering I couldn't walk or talk properly 4 years ago I'm so happy to celebrate anything.

Eating

getting out of bed

Any day I don't wake up in pain or with a raging migraine. Because that happens almost every day

I have been trying not to be so self critical and do self care for myself. I have celebrated getting medication for my ADHD and I had an intake appointment for therapy. The next goal I have is learning to live myself more and to be less negative in general.

Good question. I was in a accident when I was 26, its been 15 yrs now so far, and I feel like I can’t do anything anymore on my own.

Getting a shower, using my skincare routine

Sometimes it's just getting out of bed. But my kids make every day worth it.

Getting through rape and abuse from the ones I thought I could trust, how strong I've become despite all that's happened from it & currently realising that it stuffed up my life quite a bit and moving past it, taking it as a lesson in my everyday life

Since I found out my back is broken I am still grateful I am still able to walk around. Who knows for how long one bump and I'm I'm a wheelchair?

the days I can get up, and go outside to have genuine fun

When I finally can get up and shower after a lengthy depressive state. 🤗

finishing a bowl sometimes and doing my work

Getting up and sitting at my desk to work, getting any chores done, taking the dog out! I find the little things tough at the moment, so I need to be kind to myself and celebrate even small achievements 😊

Showering, brushing my teeth, putting my clothes away, eating without my body having a bad reaction

Getting out of bed

Learning how to walk again due to the massive amount of time put asleep in hospital ❤️‍🩹

showering

Remembering to get a little exercise in, like a short walk with the dog, or some squats (with support, don’t have the balance otherwise). Also, remembering not to overdo it when I do so. 🙃

When I complete any project around the house!

Not eating all the snacks in the house when I get to work from home.

Showering, working hard, resting. I don't always take very good care of myself or have a great life-work balance but I'm getting better at it and I'm so proud of myself for it :D

Doing my homework

Taking meds, cleaning up the room, showering!

turning in an assignment, cleaning my room, eating a full and healthy meal, going to bed early

Showering, sitting up in bed, knowing my limits, standing up for myself when people won't accommodate my needs.

Showering, eating, focusing on one task

Getting dressed, eating, brushing me teeth and showering.

Being able to move with out hurting

moving more. i stay lazy and unmotivated all the time. lately, it has actually been giving me happy when i do something.

anything that involves challenging my anxieties 🤗

Taking a poo is very important and special to me when it happens 🙌

When I get a school assignment done :) (it’s been very hard for me to concentrate on school so this is why it’s a victory for me >:) )

When I do the all the dishes instead of focusing on my hyperfixation.

Having a nice conversation with someone

Sometimes I have to celebrate simply making it to my "appointment"(class, work and so on)

doing anything creative like fashion design ideas or composing music orrr painting original work

getting chores done or remembering to eat

Completing meals

That is awesome. I'm coming up on my 7 month mark, but my migraines are coming back so for me it's either one or the other. 🙄🙄

Remembering to take and log my meds and not have a seizure and I believe I haven't had one since September 🎉🎉

Not having any arguments for a whole week

Having no migraines for more than a week!

Getting dressed

cleaning the dishes

Everything little thing I can do independently #cerebralpalsy

Waking up

Trying to keep out of hospital it's been year now and get out of bed and have at least 2 meals a day.

Things like getting out of bed, drinking water, dedicating to hygienic and skin care routines. I have my days where I feel like I don't have time or I just feel dead inside.

I stopped having to take my meds nightly!!! I have forgotten about them :))))!!!

I’m currently on a weightloss journey to get to a healthy weight , so every lb or so that I loose I celebrate a little

Just.. waking up. And getting out of bed.

Staying alive

Waking up every day! 🙌🙏

I only took a 10 minute emotional breakdown to process a situation and was able to communicate my needs without breaking down again.

Doing homework

Getting up, getting dressed, brushing my teeth... Doing things I need to do for other people online and taking a shower at night. It's not enough for some people but it is for me.

brushing my teeth. getting up, being a little productive instead of not at all. resting. feeling myself emerge on the other side of a dark tunnel :} everything ebbs and flows, the victories will come (or maybe you’re making them right now.)

Taking a, shower and getting dressed

Getting out of bed

Being able to do my full shower and skincare routine is definitely a victory for me. Most days I'm lucky to just be able to shampoo and condition my hair.

Something I’ve always struggled with is weight- I lose it like nothing but have such a hard time gaining it back…so anytime I weigh myself and the number goes up I celebrate

Life

When I've been backed up for an excruciating amount of time and you finally get diarrhea and totally eradicate a whole freaking week of meals in a matter of minutes... truly magnificent 🙌

I’m working on radical acceptance and self-forgiveness, healing my inner child.

I exersized today

Waking Up, Surviving The Day

Making my bed, remember to change my underwear, brushing my teeth, washing my hair and completing a whole day of college.

Cooking on the stove without anything going wrong

Write myself a note of praise and mail it to myself to receive later in the week as a fun reminder.

Eating a meal that doesn't make me have a allergic reaction

Going to class (even if I'm late)

Getting out of bed these days because it's so hard

When I'm house-sitting and the cat that is supposedly more shy comes to purr in my lap- especially when she did that when I was feeling down about myself. Reminded me that even though I struggle animals still seem to like me and I see that as a huge win.

I took my medications today! 🙌💕

I made a to-do list and even if I end up not doing anything on it, being alive is good enough for a day.

making it through each day sober and going one day at a time

Getting through the day. 🙌

Going a full day medicated, hydrated, and not having to sleep an excess amount to recover from both dry coughs, and burnout symptoms!

Controlling my anger and getting through each and everyday.

God introduce me to some new people and I was able to make some new friends to comfort me

Remembering to take my meds, and if I make it through a day without sensory overload or a meltdown or shutting down that's HUGE.

When I have moments that aren't consumed by anxiety or when I have enough of an appetite to actually eat something!

it can be hard for me to celebrate my victories, but things like brushing teeth, taking a shower (especially one that’s not 30 minutes long), getting out of bed before 11:30 on weekends, or doing even a little bit of schoolwork.

When I can have a normal conversation with one of my teachers without awkwardly walking away

I wish everyone in this thread the very best 🫶 I love to see so much kindness and understanding going around.

Being comfortable with myself to leave the house. I used to ve very embarrassed leaving my house because I have mildly severe Tics and use mobility aids and the general public was a place I felt very unsafe, but I've gotten better and have pushed myself to go out more and enjoy life as best I can givin I have all of my medical tools/meltdown items with me and I always go out with another person to make it easier, and I can feel at leaste some safety.

This is TMI but when my IBS-M doesn’t act up LMAO. If I keep a very careful diet everything works just fine and it’s 100000x better than the C or D

Getting up and taking care of myself

That ability to feel joy when my favorite song comes on the radio and I actually feel happy and connected enough to belt out the lyrics as I’m driving.

I had less pain yesterday after physical therapy the day before than the day after PT the session before that.

❤️
