Daily Small Wins Thread

Spent some time on trying to learn a language that honors my mother's family. (Languages are hard for me - including my first language; so I had been kind of avoiding it -- but it actually has patterns I'm already seeing a little bit which is encouraging!)
 
I finally made a very difficult phone call I had put off all week. I had to re-explain myself 4-5 times (my script did not work at all), but I think ( 🤞🌈 ) I was eventually understood
 
At a work related event I stopped being able to talk in a way that made any sense, or understand what people were saying, and I just said: "I am having a hard time expressing myself and understanding what people are saying right now. I will email the group later." I never handled it that way before, but people reacted by smiling and they acted very affectionate. I hung around then without talking or caring if I could keep up. No one seemed to mind..

I thought it might be nice to have a regular space where we can share our small wins – those everyday achievements that might not seem like much to others but matter to us.

There's no win too small for this thread. Made your bed? Win. Replied to a message you'd been putting off? Win. Tried a new food? Win. Got through a difficult sensory situation? Definitely a win.

Sometimes we're so focused on what we're struggling with that we forget to notice what we're managing. This is a place to celebrate those moments, however tiny they might feel.

I'll start: today I took action on something I've been putting off for a month, and I'm hopeful that it'll be a good thing in the long run :)

What's your small win today?

I exercised for the first time in like 3 weeks after falling off. For 5 minutes to get started.
 
Gave my mom a call. She didn't answer, but I left a message. After about 16 years of not talking to her, I think it's about time I try and make an attempt at some kinda relationship. Discard my unfounded misgivings and my illogical fears.
