How to Stop Setting Unrealistic Expectations for Yourself
from The Paradigm Shifts Podcast Network Hosted by Kaila New York
Sometimes the problem isn’t that your goals are too high. The standard of execution you expect from yourself may be too high for the level you’re currently on. I spent years trying to live up to what everybody else expected from me. Then when I finally started defining life for myself, the pendulum swung completely the other way. I expected myself to do everything, do it immediately, and do it perfectly. That created anxiety, unfinished projects, frustration, and the feeling that I was constantly behind. What I had to learn was simple: Every level has its own expectations. Every level has its own standard of execution. You don’t have to perform like the person you’ll become three levels from now. Build your capacity. Learn. Make mistakes. Finish what you started. Celebrate when you reach the goal. Then move the goalpost. Don’t skip stages. You have time. #UnrealisticExpectations #Perfectionism #PersonalGrowth #SelfDevelopment #GrowthMindset #KailaNewYork
