Let& #39;s talk about recognising achievements; a thread.

I often ask people what their little victories have been today, and sometimes people respond "I don& #39;t have one, I did nothing today"

Hello, I& #39;m here to tell you why you& #39;re wrong. (1/5)

A victory sometimes looks like nailing a job interview, passing a test, finishing a project, getting a promotion, getting positive feedback about something, or having an amazing day doing [insert thing here] (2/5)

A victory also looks like making it through the day.

It looks like getting of bed when your brain ghosts are fighting against you & facing the day feels impossible.

A victory looks like picking up the phone or sending a text. Eating breakfast or getting out of the door (3/5)

BUT KOLO, MY DAY WAS TERRIBLE

Ah man those days SUCK. I& #39;m proud of you for acknowledging it and for not perpetuating toxic positivity by pretending the bad stuff doesn& #39;t exist, cause it does. Your feelings are VALID and I& #39;m sorry you& #39;ve had suck a sucky day. (4/5)

Within your acceptance and acknowledgement of bad days, don& #39;t forget to acknowledge your victory too; look at you, being here. You showed up. You made it through.

That& #39;s a victory.
That& #39;s an achievement.
And I& #39;m proud of you. (5/5)
