So, I stumbled upon this “accomplishment crossword” thing today, and I thought, “Why not give it a shot?” I mean, who doesn’t love a good crossword? But this one had a twist – it was all about listing out your achievements. Sounded kinda cheesy, but hey, I’m all about trying new things.
First, I grabbed a piece of paper and a pen. Yeah, I’m old school like that. I could’ve used some fancy app, but sometimes, plain paper just feels right. I drew a simple grid, you know, like a regular crossword, but blank.
Then came the hard part – actually thinking about my accomplishments. It’s weird, you don’t really sit around all day thinking about what you’re good at, right? So, I started with the easy stuff, like “finished that online course” or “cooked a new dish last week.” Small wins, you know?
As I filled in the boxes, I started to see some connections. Like, one accomplishment would lead to another. For example, “learned to code a basic website” led to “built a portfolio website” which then led to “got a freelance project.” It was like a little chain reaction of wins!
I also tried to think about different areas of my life – work, personal projects, hobbies, even relationships. It’s not just about the big, flashy stuff, but also the little things that make you feel good, like “helped a friend move” or “finally organized that messy closet.”
Some of the things I ended up writing down:
- Learned a new song on the guitar.
- Finished reading that 500-page book.
- Volunteered at the local animal shelter.
- Ran a 5k without stopping (finally!).
- Fixed that annoying leaky faucet.
- Apologized when I know is my fault.
Honestly, it took me a while to fill out the whole grid. But once I was done, it felt pretty darn good. It’s like, you see all these things you’ve done, big and small, all laid out in front of you. It’s a nice little reminder that you’re actually doing pretty okay in life, even when it doesn’t always feel like it.
So, yeah, that’s my experience with this “accomplishment crossword” thing. It was surprisingly fun and a good way to boost my mood. Might even make it a regular thing, who knows?
