It is important to pull back and make sure your expectations are realistic and move you toward success.

Hey, JoyGenea here, international neurodiversity coach. I’ve got an interesting question for you and I think you’ll find this kind of fun. Can you, or are there places in your life, that maybe you should lower your expectations of yourself or maybe of other people?
I think this is a pretty good question worth exploring a little bit for yourself, because as I’ve noticed with a lot of clients, sometimes their expectations for other people- pretty unrealistic and pretty tough for other people to ever live up to, and that equally goes for their expectations for themselves because you know what? Life is not meant to be one giant wad of stress all the time. No, it is actually supposed to be incredible and amazing, or at least ok and neutral. And, what I find is, people can get really caught up in the stress of things, and one way, simple easy way to reduce stress, is maybe it is lowering your expectations into something that is realistic to your skills, realistic to other people’s skills and gifts. If you are managing people, maybe you are expecting something from another person that really is not part of their skills or gifts, maybe right in their weakness, maybe they are in a wrong spot, or maybe what you are expecting is not that incredibly important and you can let go.
So, I’m JoyGenea, international neurodiversity coach and human being and I am encouraging you to reconsider some of your expectations. Bye now.
