Don't try to be Batman
Eric Barker, founder of the blog “Barking Up The Wrong Tree” gave a talk where he encouraged everyone by saying: don’t be Batman! IE: don’t try and win at everything every day and never lose. Instead, have grit by making life a game and learn to embrace overcoming obstacles. Are you feeling some stress trying to be Batman? I’ve often found it helpful to switch the goal from “I want to be superhuman” to “I want to be super at being human.” In other words, how can you allow yourself a little more freedom to experience a broad spectrum of feelings and to loosen the grip a little on always being perfect?
