A Note to Myself

Let’s write again for 5 minutes. I have been over cautious these days. In everything I do, I am trying my best not to make mistakes but it caused me making more mistakes. Even today as I play with my daughter, I keep watching myself whether I upset her or do not do enough as a father. I have also been adding pressure unnecessarily to myself in almost every thing I do.

I want to remind myself that being anxious or thinking about the problems do not solve anything. The more I delay, the more it gets scarier to do. So, let’s lower the standard, find a good enough alternative. Make mistakes and learn from them. Also, do not jump to conclusion by saying I am stupid because of the mistakes I do. Whenever I am angry to myself, remember the three underlying categories of anger sources: hurt, frustration, and personal attack. Remember that punishing myself is not useful by any means. Be objective, channel the anger to something positive.
