Isn’t this the problem with social media? Expecting extraordinary or even noteable moments every day. Expecting rare and marvelous memories every day is what drives depression. Each day if we compare our day to someone else’s highlight reel of the week will surely leave us feeling less than.
Your notable moment may be something as small as getting to work on time, or taking a walk outside. Not everything must, or even ought to be captured as a “spectacular” or notable moment for all of the world to see. Our rare and beautiful things should be considered rare and beautiful. That’s what makes them so, and it is okay if your rare and beautiful things are different than others.
These don’t happen every day, because that’s real life. So instead of trying to make everything notable, take note of the things that are actually that way in your life and stop expecting everything in your day to measure up to someone else’s most marvelous day.
However, I do believe in the idea of taking count of your blessing each day in the form of three good things. Maybe keep a three good things journal so that on the days you find yourself struggling with someone else’s best day ever you can find yourself in the midst of a good day.
