Description

Emily https://www.instagram.com/thephilosophicalcoach/ is a philosopher, a kind hearted human, a student and teacher of living life on YOUR terms, founder of POR (Portal of Receiving - her own philosophy), and someone I'm grateful to call my friend. In the first ever episode of Let yourself live (the podcast) we dived into this caller question. โฌ‡๏ธ๐Ÿ’–

I have really high expectations. I always have. I have high expectations for others - and extra high ones for myself. Which leads to me constantly feeling disappointed. Some of the people I expect to be a certain way, are not capable of giving me the bare minimum of respect so obviously I always feel defeated. Some people do love me and treat me with kindness - but I still put too much pressure on them in my mind. And itโ€™s not just people. Itโ€™s always have high hopes for how something will go. Whether itโ€™s something Iโ€™m really excited about - or something Iโ€™m going after to achieve. I love the part of myself that has high expectations because I know itโ€™s the same part of me that wants to feel full of joy and love and fun. How can I hold onto the excitement and crave I naturally have for things to turn out in positive and joyful ways while releasing the tight grip I have on expecting everything and everyone to meet โ€œperfectionโ€ as an outcome?
