I’m not a fan of affirmations, as often they just create unrealistic pressure within our minds.

It’s like people saying always be positive……well, that isn’t normal, as by doing that, we don’t deal with our emotions and work through them.

Lowering our expectations is a good place to start to retrain the mind to live in reality.

By this I mean, train the mind to be prepared for anything to happen, be it good, or not so good, because if we always expect the best to happen every time we do something, then when, and if things don’t turn out the way we thought, our emotions take hold in a negative way, because we didn’t prepare in the first place to accept reality.

Learn to accept what will be, will be, and stop being so hard on ourselves by trying to always be perfect.
