    DEPRESSION – EXPECTATIONS MANAGEMENT (REALITY VS EXPECTATIONS)

    It has been said that happiness equals reality divided by expectations. If our reality is lower than how
    we expect life to be, then we’re likely to feel unhappy or discontent.

    This formula therefore suggests that our reality needs to be equally balanced with our expectations.
    The more we can get them in balance, then the happier, more content, accepting or peaceful, we
    are likely to be. Therefore, in order to make positive change, we can choose to improve our reality,
    and/or lower our expectations.

    Helpful Questions:
    1. Am I setting goals according to my capabilities when I was at my peak? How is it
    affecting my depression? Can I lower my high standards for some time taking into
    account my current vigor and motivation? If yes/no why?
    2. Are there any fears or anxiety of changing your ways? What are they and why so?
    Can you seek help to overcome them?
    3. Are you allowing yourself or others time to just breathe and take a while to figure
    out this new life?
    4. What are some changes you’d like to make? What is stopping you? Remember,
    when the desire to change exceeds the need to remain the same only then change is
    possible.
