Module 8

have a realistic view of yourself

• Sometimes we have unrealistic expectations and think we must always be improving and never have any backward steps.

• Remember, in any situation where there is overall improvement, there are ups and downs within this big picture.

• This is natural and down times should not be seen as a reason to give yourself a hard time.

• Another unhelpful expectation may be that you always have to make progress by yourself and not ask for help.

• All of us need others to help us through rough patches.

• We shouldn’t expect to do it on our own all the time.
