Summary

Have you ever been told that your standards are “too high” or that you have unrealistic expectations? Let’s be honest, sometimes it can be really difficult to tell the difference between having high standards (whether they’re for relationships, work, or even your health) and having unrealistic expectations. While high standards can be great to have, if they start to turn into unrealistic expectations, you could be setting yourself up for a lot of unnecessary stress and pressure. But, the question is: how do you know if you’re setting high standards or clinging onto unrealistic expectations? And what can you do about it if you start to realize that you do have some unrealistic expectations?  In this episode of the SHE podcast, Jordan answers all of those questions as she explores how to have high standards (without expecting perfection or adding unnecessary stress to your life).  Grab those headphones and tune in to learn: The difference between having high standards and unrealistic expectations How unrealistic expectations can set you up for disappointment and unneeded stress Examples of high standards and when they can turn into unrealistic expectations How to identify when you’re starting to have unrealistic expectations
