Dear diary
Checking my unrealistic expectations regularly has done wonder to my life and improves the quality of my recovery.
Any unexpected changes in life in the past can really upset me, any shortfall can lead me to be very disturbed, discontented, and frustrated, it can throw my recovery off balance. It has triggered me many times.
Ever since I learn about myself having unrealistic high expectations and making adjustment in that areas, I am a more balance and happy person now. I am not perfect, life is not perfect, It is ok for things to turn out not according to my plans and expectations, it is really ok, this is life.
There are so many unexpectated events and things beyond our control that can happen in life.
In my worst case in the past, they are usually finance, and work related, next are people related, health related, the list can go on and on.
Most importantly, many things is not ok in life but I feel ok , grateful and contented. I don’t have to force a change, I don’t have to do anything, just trust God and hand it over.
Thank you God.
