I’ve recently noticed that hardly a day goes by when I’m not thinking about or doing something to improve my life and it makes me wonder if I'm trying too hard.
What a lot of people forget is that sadness, even deep sadness that lasts for a few months, is normal for someone who has suffered a great loss or trauma.
If you tend to be hard on yourself, it is probably taking up precious time that could be spent doing other things that are far more productive and pleasant.
