Making good decisions. Not perfect ones.
When it comes to tackling low mood, we have to focus on making good decisions, not perfect decisions. A good decision is one that moves you in the direction you want to go. It doesn’t have to catapult you there.
Let’s break that thought down:
Making Good Decisions:
Often, when faced with low moods or emotional challenges, we're driven by an unrelenting desire for perfection. The truth is, perfection is often unattainable and can be paralyzing. Instead, focus on making "good" decisions – ones that align with your goals, values, and well-being.
Direction Over Perfection:
Your journey to a happier and more positive life is just that – a journey. It's a path of progress, not instant transformation. Understand that your decisions don't have to be groundbreaking; they simply need to move you in the right direction. Over time, these small steps accumulate and lead to significant positive changes.
So, what can you do to incorporate this principle into your life in a tangible way?
Set Realistic Goals: Define achievable goals that inspire you. They don't have to be colossal; they should be motivating and within your reach.
Prioritise Self-Care: Remember that taking care of your physical and mental well-being is a series of small daily choices. Focus on these, and you'll naturally gravitate towards a more positive outlook.
Seek Support: Don't hesitate to seek support from friends, family, or professionals when needed. Sharing your journey with others can provide encouragement and valuable insights.
Embrace Progress: Celebrate every small victory, and every good decision, as a step forward. You're creating positive momentum in your life.
Remember, nobody has it all figured out, and nobody makes perfect decisions all the time. What matters is the direction you're moving in and the effort you put into improving your emotional well-being.
Stay focused on making good decisions, not perfect ones, and watch how much progress you can make!
