12: What to EXPECT From Our Expectations

from Schooling Struggle Hosted by Schooling Struggle

Expectations, what a crazy lofty topic! What we think something, or someone should be & how we form standards in our minds - this is the root of expectation. Pete and Todd explore what expectations mean to them, where they originate, how to keep an awareness around expectations to see them for what they are and how they can guide/drive behaviors. On the other side of our individual expectations rests how "others' expectations" can weigh on us and influence how we react to them. Three facets we consider... The way that we view ourselves The way that we think others view us. The way that we are actually viewed by others. Mental habit / action / tool examples: Embracing others to be the best versions of themselves. Being aware of our expectations, as well as those of others. The pause (choice). Form words in our head, with an awareness of expectations, before they come out of our mouths. Lean into situations where expectation arises and shift your response to play with different outcomes. Being aware of the 'should'. Quotes/quips: "Happiness is reality, minus expectations." "Expectation is the mother of all disappointment." "Looking at the heart (of an individual), not the action." "Routine is freedom." "Our greatest strength is our greatest weakness." "No bad days, just challenging moments within 24-hour periods." Rando links: Whistler, British Columbia, Canada

Is it that it is an illness that can be cured? or that neurodistinct people struggle to hold down a job? Or that people identifying with the same 'labels' require the same supports? Even though we’re hearing more and more about neuro distinction, many ‘go-to’ stereotypes remain, which aren’t super helpful if you’ve just been diagnosed or are wondering how to help someone who has. A Beautiful Mind takes you way beyond the stereotypes and into the minds and stories of people living with neurodistinctions. Data storyteller Dr Selena Fisk meets people with a diagnosis, a mental health condition or an addiction who explain what it’s like to live with these labels, and share the path they're on as they navigate workplaces and communities who struggle to know how to best support them.
