Self-criticizing is a very common thing. We probably all do or have done it. Self-criticism is a recipe for a bad self-image and the self-criticism. But there’s one thing that really counters a bad self-image. And that’s telling yourself the things you did well today. If you do so every day, it will have great effects and pretty soon. Therefore I invite you all to list 10 things you did well today.
So list away

Nicely going.
Maybe we should just all wait for your list first 
I have a list as well for this 90 days focus I have that inlcude ‘good’ things to do to focus on my sobriety. ticked almost all the daily boxes there today.
but next to that, will never come to 10 i guess.
I started my day with a power yoga class from a colleague teacher. She pulled a trick on me and I am to scared to speak up about it but do feel the passive aggressive attitude I can have then.
So it was a 2 in one. If I am to much of a chicken to speak my mind at least be present with the uncomfortable. move through it. we had a little chat afterwards and I stayed out of the “this person will self destruct in 10 seconds mode”

Not sure I’ve reached 10 things yet today because it’s still early here but I love this idea for a thread!
I actually have started to make a mental list exactly like this when I’m going to sleep at night. I either pick 5 or 10 things I did during the day that were good/healthy/helped others. I always make #1 that it was another sober day. I know without that being #1 then few or no good things would come after.
It always helps me de-stress and fall asleep…and you’re right it definitely boosts self esteem. Great idea for a thread

I kinda like this idea. I am supposed to be writing a bunch of affirmations, but this seems like more fun, and somewhat challenging to find 10 things. I will give it a go. . .

- Recovered very well from oversleeping.
- Did my best at school.
- Told my mentor about my behind in homework. (Can someone tell me how to word that correctly?)
- Kept my cool when I thought my mentor implied that my mental issues are an illegitimate reason in front of my class(not with the intention to shame me). After the class I talked to her and she told me that was her attempt at motivating me.
- Made a good deal that can make me up to €50. Found a used beautiful lego set for way underneath the average asking price for that set. If this works out the way I want it to, I can repeat this process and I could have a very lucrative side-gig.
- Listened to advice.
- Didn’t crave alone.
- Opened up to someone about my issues.
- Actively socialized during my first break.
- Did not really criticise myself today I think.
