What have you accomplished today?

Wrong thread, idk how to delete, sorry.

Made an hour's appointment with a trainer.

Fantastic!

Getting my haircut.

I did manage to do the food shopping after all even though I did not feel like being around bunches of people, and I had a shower/washed my hair.

Did 20 minutes of housework, bare minimum, then made myself go for an hour's walk in the woods. Got to my 10,000 steps already, so midnight walk will be a bonus. Nice to be out in a bit of nature. Things always seem not bettter.... but gentler with a bit of walk and some trees.

Practiced coping skills and reached out to friends

Did a bit of laundry for newer clothes. Ordered a new 28TB external hard drive that should handle any expansion for a fair spell of years. Makes me remember when that size would have been unheard of. LOL

I managed to check my emails and do a few bits of necessary admin I'd been putting off. Even that had me feeling a bit shaky with the mental effort....

Renewed prescription for my asthma inhalers.

Paid bills.

Put away laundry and talked to friends

I’ve been practicing looking at people. For example, if I cross paths with someone at the gym, I’ll try to make eye contact. Usually, they’re either preoccupied, averting their gaze, or simply paying no heed to the people around them, but on occasion we exchange cursory glances, perhaps even a nod or smile. Regardless, I’m still getting routine practice with basic human interaction.

All my life, I’d shy away at any opportunity to be seen, but I no longer have the patience to care. I’m beating into my head the habit of making eye contact with those I’ve never met in the hopes that it will eventually become second nature.

All that to say, I might’ve made an acquaintance at the gym. We’ve only exchanged a few greetings and goodbyes, but it made my day today.

Yesterday I spent the whole day stripping horrible wood chip wallpaper from the kitchen.

Hard work, good job!

I did a couple of hours of yoga and meditation, made a big pot of chai, went for a sunrise bike ride and now off to the gym to workout. And I’m maintaining the 5 pound wt gain☺️

Went for a walk and jogged a few steps when nobody was looking.

That's great, keep it up @AvidFan

Done about 10 1/2 hours on the wallpaper stripping. Had plenty of breaks inbetween throughout the day. I've had a shower, clean clothes and having my tea. Bed time soon.

Either I've sorted a few more baby steps in a messy situation I got myself in, or I have just made it worse. Hopefully, the former.
