That’s what my doctor said. He reminded me that it is possible to recover and it needs time. When my performance feels like everything, step back, remember what is the most important.
Aside from that, I guess I need to remember three things in taking a step back.
First, count the blessings. As expected, yesterday was tough in office and even today things are piling up as I am not in the office. But remember to count God’s blessings. For example yesterday and today I could jog. Then I could have lunch and tea break with my wife today. Also, yesterday and today I received encouragements to move forward.
Second, be aware of distractions. It is very easy for me to be distracted. Like the sermon two days ago, we are often distracted and do things that are not the most important. It already happened both at home and at work too where I busy doing things that are not really necessary.
Third, bring good news to myself. I hate my ideal self who often scould me. So two applications of good news are forgive myself who cannot meet the expectation of ideal self and forgive ideal self despite his harsh words. Think how I can love my ideal self a little more despite my fear of his scolding. And think how to help ideal self for his unhelpful part, that he can encourage me without self-sabotaging myself.
In each of the step forward, remember, our only job is to rely on God, and not on my own ways.
