"The tiniest steps forward still count".
Thought this was a good reminder to start the week with.
I know it always helps me to get this reminder.
Because those "tiny" steps can still feel plenty big!
And sometimes I even think there is no such thing as a tiny step.
That they are all variants of big steps.
But maybe that depends on where you're at in life?
And what you got going on.
Just wanted to share this with you.
And wish you the best possible week, you can have.

You got through.

Dear glimmer seekers.
It's glimmer time.
So I invite you to reflect on a glimmer from your week.
It can be anything that felt like a glimmer to YOU!
Nothing is too "small" when it comes to glimmers.
They all count, they all matter, they are all important.
You're more than welcome to share with us in the comments to spread glimmers and inspire others.
I'll get us started with the sharing.

Yesterday I had a rest day.
Two naps.
And lots of time spent under the covers on my couch.
Ad I wrote in my journal later that day, I realized that I was struggling with guilt and shame over having spent the day, as I had.
I felt bad for not being "productive".
And ashamed for not "doing anything".
But then I flipped through some quotes, I have written down in my journal - reminders of how I wish to think.
And one of them said: "I decide what progress looks like to me".
I was so thankful for this reminder!
I had been productive that day - I had rested and taken care of myself.
And that is certainly not "doing nothing".
I get to define what success is to me.
And that was a successful day!

I am so thankful for you all and this group.
You help me stay motivated to take pictures for my #photodiary
It's so important for me to do this.
But I do struggle with motivation due to anhedonia and several other things...
So I am so thankful for the motivation you add to my life.
One of my values for 2025 is FOCUS.
And one of the things, I really want to focus on is my gratitude and glimmers.
So thank you for the opportunity and help.
Ps: the artwork is from a Mighty friend.

I keep a gratitude log on my phone in a note app.
And I really like to have it so accessible all the time.
It helps me capture those "small" moments of gratitude.
Like:
- dropping my phone and it not breaking
- a new episode in a YouTube show
- there being only one pack of oreos left in the store; and I needed one pack
- cold, clean, and plentiful drinking water
- a Mighty friend sent me some of her artwork to support me.
I really like capturing gratitude like this.
And I really like re-reading the entries in my log.
Especially when I'm down.
So I want to invite you to think about what you're grateful for today?
You're more than welcome to share with us in the comments to spread gratitude and inspire others.
I'll get us started with the sharing.

This reminder is always welcomed in my world:
"Hitting a rough patch doesn't undo all of the progress you've already made".
When I do hit a rough patch, which I do on a very regular basis..., I am so quick to think it erases all my progress and all my good work.
And that all of this doesn't matter all of a sudden.
But that's not true.
I read somewhere that progress isn't "just" about how you manage the good times.
It's also about how you handle and cope with the rough times.
I needed that reminder now.
Maybe some of you do too?
I wish you the best possible week, you can have.
