A Trick For Managing Highs And Lows
There's no silver bullet, but this can help.
Sometimes I swing between self-doubt and pride. Sometimes I’m up. Sometimes I’m down. It used be harder to manage these swings as a younger person, but as I get older, I know that my brain is more developed and I have more tools.
Here’s an example of some language that I take with me everywhere. I pull it out whenever I feel I’m swinging too far in any direction.
“You’re not as good or as bad as you think.”
I don’t know who said it or where I first heard it, but it resonated with me a lot.
I hope it’s useful for you, too.
