Are my standards too high?

I just constantly feel like my life/ I am not good enough but nothing is actually wrong.

House is relatively tidy, lovely beams- all I can see is the carpets need replacing, some of painting could be better.

Relationship is good, safe, loving- all I can see is the lack of spark.

I am successful and have a good job- all I can see is that I should be doing better and have worked harder.

I am a low-ish weight and slim- all I can see is my non-defined waist, broad hips and wobbly thighs.

I am walking and running lots, baking, reading in the sun- all I can see is the lack of a proper long distance holiday and how upsetting it is,

Maybe I’m just expecting too much? And the issue is my attitude not my life?

Definitely your attitude.Either learn to be appreciative or accept that that is how you are.

Your wired tight- you sound like one of those people that can’t relax and be in the moment your in- it’s actually HARD for some people to relax and chill out, it takes practice for some, but sounds like it might be a new challenge for you to take on, try stilling your mind?

I guess problem is I feel like appreciating what I have is accepting I’ve failed to do better...

Some people seem to just have that kind of personality, always find something to be glum about.
