Refelection of Yesterday

I had a big day yesterday. I woke up at about 5:30 and started correcting my english paper that was due the 16th of september. I showered, got dressed, and went to my dentist aptointment, around 11:30. Around 12:30 I headed off to school. I had class from 1pm- 2:40pm. However I left at 2:30 because I had to go apply for housing. I got hope around 5:00pm, and boy was I tired. I felt like I had countered the world today.
When thinking about my activities yesterday, I realised I did to much. However, one question was on my mind, why do we do more things in a day than our body can handle? I answered my own question when I told about something I read in the text the other day. We over excert ourselves because we want to feel accomplished. When I don'taccomplish somethingI wanted to, it stays in my mind until I accomplish it. However, it's notjust accomplishsomething that gives us a shy of relief. We have a feeling of satsafaction when we acconplish a task.

Yesterday I wanted to start bloggin, but everything that came into my head went scrammble on the computer. I couldn't get my words to come out smoothly. Everyone hashad this problem at some point in their lives. When thinking why this happens, I came to the conclusion that it happens because our brain is tired. To expand appon this statement I feel selve fulliment when I accomplish a task. When I don't accomplish something, I feel unfullilled.

We all have expectations ofourselves and others. However, when we disengage from these expectations we don't feel disapproved of ourselves. For instance: if I said I was going to takedown the trash, and clean the house and didn't accomplish the expectations I had of myselfthat day. I would feel disapproved because I didn'tget done what I needed to.
When we do accomplish our expectations of ourselves, we can appraise ourselves. This is known as refelected appraisial. I'm going to appraise myself because Idid a good job today. Itsa term that means you give yourself a pat on the back, or you approve of someones life style.
