I got a message from a long-time listener asking for this topic in a podcast episode because she could really use some guidance on lowering your expectations. Turns out, I have 4 episodes on lowering expectations, and it\\u2019s been a huge part of my recovery and a foundational piece to my sobriety. That\\u2019s why episode 144 of the Fragmented to Whole Podcast is about the choices you have that can end your suffering by lowering your expectations!\\xa0

In this episode of the Fragmented to Whole Podcast, I\\u2019m sharing the importance of lowering your expectations and actionable steps you get to take right now to change those expectations to live a more peaceful life.\\xa0

Some of the talking points I go over in this episode include:

• How I look at the serenity prayer to help me understand why I need to lower my expectations and only focus on changing myself, and how I cannot change others\\u2019.
• How I needed to lower my expectations around my brother, who is one of the smartest people I know but who doesn\\u2019t live up to his potential and my expectations of him, and deal with him as he is.\\xa0
• The key differences between lowering your expectations and lowering your standards, and how the key to ending your suffering is NOT lowering your standards and it really depends on your values and setting boundaries.
• The power in understanding my part in things and keeping the focus on myself is where the power is.

I don\\u2019t know about you, but I am fucking done with suffering. I want to get to peace. Hopefully, this episode helps you get closer to peace too. So be sure to tune in to all the episodes to receive tons of practical tips on living a more whole life and to hear even more about the points outlined above.

Thank you for listening!
