Читать книгу The Colors Of A Optimistic World - Logan J. Davisson - Страница 107

Expect a lot from yourself and exceed your own limits, but don't overtax yourself and don't be too strict with yourself. If a day doesn't go as well or if you don't always manage everything as you have planned, then show compassion for yourself. We are all human beings, not machines, and should be loving and empathic towards ourselves. If your body signals to you that it is tired and needs a break, then give it the well-earned rest period. After that you can get back to work fresh and energized and you will be efficient and concentrated again. Try to strike a balance between the ambition to achieve your goal in a disciplined manner and an appropriate compassion for yourself. It doesn't help you to demotivate yourself and to torment yourself with self-reproaches, because it doesn't work that way, it only weakens you unnecessarily. Treat yourself just as you would treat a loved one close to you if they were frustrated and depressed. Expect a lot from yourself, challenge yourself, but don't overtax yourself.
