How To Set Realistic Expectations For Yourself
b'Welcome back to another Podcast. Today\'s topic is all about how to set realistic expectations for yourself.\\nEveryone has expectations for themselves. We often assume these expectations are reasonable, yet many of them are not. We expect to work all day, without taking any breaks. We expect to lose weight, without eating right and exercising. We expect to have high energy every day. We expect to experience the same emotions (calm and contentment) all the time. We expect ourselves to be fearless, all the time.\\nWe set high expectations because \\u201cwe idealize the \\u2018perfect\\u2019 outcome.\\u201d We assume that in order to feel successful, we need a specific result. We need to get the promotion, or we\\u2019ve failed. We need to get an A+ on our test, or we\\u2019ve failed. This is a hard way to live, because it creates a lot of needless pressure. Even if we do reach the carrot that dangled in front of us, there\\u2019s always another bigger carrot around the corner. It never stops. We never stop and it\\u2019s exhausting. Here are tips that can help you:\\n\\n(1). Examine The Expectations Of Yourself.\\n(2). Reconsider Your Expectations For Others.\\n(3). Relax Your Expectations.\\n\\n\\u201cYou are your own worst enemy. If you can learn to stop expecting impossible perfection, in yourself and others, you may find the happiness that has always eluded you.\\u201d \\u2015Lisa Kleypas, Love in the Afternoon\\n\\n--- \\n\\nSend in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/michelle4466/message\\nSupport this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/michelle4466/support'
