It is not good enough

I struggled again in the past three days. One key message that I tell myself repeatedly is that it is not good enough. In almost everything I do or every feeling I have, I said it is not good enough. The question is that who sets those standards and say whether something is good enough? The answer is clear, it is I myself who set those standards. Instead of being thankful to what I have, I keep wanting things better or more ideal than the current situation. When I make mistakes, I say those should not have happened. When I feel miserable, I said it is not good enough even when I know it. When I feel sleepy, I said this is not good enough or I cannot stand this. The high standard and low frustration tolerance dominate my time. In this situation, again the question of why I am like this (not being thankful, stressed, cannot think clearly, being sleepy & slow) is not helpful. Instead, I need to do what I can to break free from the vicious loop of self-condemnation. So what can we do. Exercise, rest for a while, write my thoughts, pomodoro technique, REBT, postpone the judgment or the impulse can be done. If one technique does not work, then try another. Also, we do not need to be performing all the time. There are some low time. In another word, it is good enough. And when it is not good enough, it is good enough to know we can do better next time.
