Hey guys, welcome back. Thanks for tuning in. Today I want to chat with you about expectations.

I want to talk about it because I feel like not enough of us actually stop and think about it in a

really practical sense and no one really takes the time to think, okay, my emotions are so heavily influenced by the expectations that I put on every single

part of my life, whether it be business, relationships, friendships, friendships,

family. We put so many expectations on all of these things and then we wonder why we're disappointed or we feel like we're let down

and it's such an easy answer but not enough of us to realize how much power we actually have

when it comes to how we feel and our outlook towards life and that is why I want to have a little

chat with you all about it today.

I want to throw many different examples at you so that you get an idea of my point.

Before I even talk more about it, I'm going to put you within the scene, make you feel the feels,

understand where I'm coming from,

because I know for a fact we've all been here before.

It's Valentine's Day.

Everyone on social media is being sent roses and chocolates and bears and their partners are going to great lengths to make it known that they indeed are loved and then your partner comes home

and he doesn't have anything for you or he has a simple card or a simple single rose and you're

disappointed because you thought he would put more effort in or he would go all out but he didn't

so you're disappointed and that starts an argument.

Next example.

You haven't seen your boyfriend or your girlfriend, let's just say boyfriend for this example.

You haven't seen your boyfriend for the whole week, and it's the weekend, and you're so excited

to see him because it's been so long, and you've been fantasizing about all the fun things you're going to do when you see him and all the cuddles you'll have and the nice food you'll eat and all the cute dates you'll go on. And then the weekend comes around and he's exhausted. He's had a busy week. He's been doing lots of stuff. And then he just wants to chill, relax and do nothing. So you're angry at him now because you had these ideas in your head

that when you finally reunited it was going to be amazing
