8 Signs You're Doing Better Than You Think

Do you often feel bad and get frustrated with yourself for failing to reach your own (sometimes unrealistically) high expectations? Do you constantly compare yourself to those around you? Do you feel like you're falling behind, or because you haven’t yet come to terms with your own past failures? Here are a few signs to reassure you that you are doing much better than you may be giving yourself credit for.

Everyone agrees that it's impossible not to say "Cute" or "Calming" while watching psych2go videos

[sophiejaycolt]

This just confirmed that I WASN’T doing better than I thought I was. 😐

[kaarahulstrand]

I just was saying “my life isn’t what I wanted” the other day. So I appreciate this! Thank you!

I feel like I'm moving forward and becoming a better person, not to say that I'm a bad person or anything but there's a part of me that people would consider "bad or evil" that I like. It's kinda like being a devil's advocate or a misunderstood villain with morales and values. It's because I'm a quiet guy and I like conserving energy so I dont usually spend time correcting or arguing with people whenever they have a misconception of me and besides it's more fun making people think you're the big bad wolf even tho you aren't

I'm currently going through a breakup right now and moving on is the hardest thing to do, still I'm trying new hobbies and experiences and this video helps me reflect upon my progress I've made so far. Thank you

This is the exact video I needed at this point of time. I'm tend to overthink everything and sometimes tend to only see the wrong in things. It's gotten worse recently. I needed this video. Thank you Psych2Go

Psych2go has done so much for us shouldn't we ask about them? How are you psych2go?

[trackpantsatthewedding]

im trying to become a better person, i really changed.started respected people more, believing in god, doing things that aren’t good.
im kinda proud of myself but you can always become better, so i’ll try.

[frosty_snowflake]

I love listening to your voice, it's so calming. 💜

As someone who constantly works on self-development and has many goals I tend to be caught up in the moment. Where everything just kinda seems like it's crashing down, but this video gave me a sense of reassurance I'm so glad I started off my day with this. Thank you Psych2Go!

I feel like this channel repeats these ideas often:
1. Hold yourself accountable for your life and your actions.
2. Learn from failure.
3. Be grateful for what you have, including your relationships.
4. Know what you want (or "be responsible for your desires").
5. Be conscious of and level-headed with your emotions (which could also be rephrased as "be responsible for your emotions").
Or even more succinctly, be grateful and be responsible.

Totally off topic, but this is the cutest frame ever

[amberpasta]

I might not be where I thought I would be when I was a kid but that’s ok; I’m where I need to be.. and every day I’m one step closer to being who I want to be

This video made me almost cry happy tears. At the beginning of the week I felt super overwhelmed because of negative comments my Mom made regarding a large exam I have in a few weeks. With the help of an emergency therapy session this week, I am doing a lot better and I resonated a lot with this video and made me feel better!
