Notes To Self Segment - 004: How To Relieve Yourself From Expectations
*CUE THE CIRCUS MUSIC*
Does your life feel like a scene from a movie? Or maybe a drama? Or maybe a thriller?
LIGHTS. CAMERA. ACTION!
We’re always in motion. We’re always “needing” to perform…to live up to someone’s expectation…to put on a show. Our attention spans are shrinking by the day. How can you possibly keep up?
Welcome to the 4th episode of “Notes To Self”, a segment of Found Family Podcast. “Notes To Self” are literally notes that I’ve written to myself on the Notes app on my iPhone where I admit my worst fears, talk about my triggers, and word vomit limiting beliefs as well as life-changing revelations on my recovery journey. Get ready to REAL talk, girl. Coz s**t’s about to get real.
Notes To Self on 1/2/2017:
The reason why I’m afraid to chase after my dreams is because there will be an expectation upon me to constantly perform. That thought terrifies me and makes me feel trapped. I don’t want to pursue them then, it’s like my inner child throwing a tantrum and spitefully doing the opposite or not doing anything at all. I don’t like when other people have or put pressure or expectation on me and since I did that to myself for so many years, it’s an overwhelming feeling of “maybe I shouldn’t try or I’ll always need to perform”.
DAY-YUM.
