Exercise: Reflection
To become more aware of your expectations, think about the following:
- In what situations do you feel disappointed?
- Do you often feel disappointed in yourself?
- Do you often feel disappointed in others?
- Are there situations that keep recurring?
- What demands and expectations do you have of yourself?
- Are these demands and expectations higher than you can realistically meet?
- Do you want to keep creating expectations when you know the result might be disappointment?
In which situations are your expectations not fulfilled?
