Expectations and Disappointment

[Brooklyn99]

Through the course of my constant efforts to recover from anxiety and depression, I have realized that I often make goals for myself and end up not maintaining for a long time. This always breaks my spirit and prevents me from giving another try. This time I am just doing what I can and trying to avoid making unnecessary commitment to self. I exercised today. It wasn't much but got my blood pumping and I feel great about myself.

I had (have?) a tendency to beat myself up when I don't follow through on things, but am doing better an accepting that I'll just do the best I can. Good job on the exercise!
