YOGYAKARTA Life's uncertainties need to be responded to with perspectives that do not damage mental health. Including giving up expectations, which does not mean having to sacrifice dreams and goals, but recognizing ways of thinking that make you lighter in acting to achieve goals.

Negative emotions make the steps and mindset unhealthy. Not to mention that unrealistic or rigid thoughts make a person more anxious, hurt, or angry. Citing psychotherapist reviews of Robin D. Stone, LMHC., knowing that life doesn't always provide what you expect will help manage negative emotions. Instead of being under the umbrella of disappointment, worry, and anger, it's better to manage negative emotions in a healthy manner.

Robin added that as reported by Psychology Today, Friday, March 24, acceptance does not mean you sacrifice the values you have. But with a perspective referring to REBT (Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy) considers you a goal-oriented and supportive individual in achieving goals.

This directs you to self-check, challenge negative thoughts, and consider other ways to look at the situation.

This is a way of selecting which one is important and priority or not. Instead of expectation on the results of the presentation, it is better to prepare the material that will be presented optimally.

The second way Robin recommends, make an inspiring music playlist. Select a flexible song, can change your perspective, allow you to adapt to change, and make changes.
