067 // Perfectionism + Catching Stealthy Expectations

The HYE Life Podcast

We all have expectations that we set for ourselves, for situations, and for others. As humans, we have the incredible power of imagination. We dream and we tell stories, automatically creating a set of ideals for how things and people ought to be... how they “should” be.
Some of the time, we can catch our expectations and recognize when they aren't realistic or fair, but not always. And it's those subtle expectations-- the stealthy ones-- that go under our radar and no longer feel like expectations but feel like facts. These are the most dangerous to our wellbeing, our self worth, our goals, and our relationships.
This episode covers how to go about catching our perfectionism and expectations before they take over our behavior, relationships, goals, and ultimately our lives. These tools and takeaways will help you to not only unpack your anxiety and difficult emotions, but be more present and compassionate towards ourselves and others.
