Sometimes, the expectations we have for ourselves or others can make things overwhelming because we think things have to be 'perfect' to be enjoyed. However, this isn't the case - what really matters is the special moments we make with ourselves and others, regardless of how perfect they seem.
This summer replay episode dives into the 'why' behind having certain expectations and how they impact our decisions or views. By removing these expectations, we can be more mindful, soak in the moment, and express gratitude for what we have and who we are.
Tune into this podcast with licensed therapist Vanessa De Jesus Guzman for this real-talk conversation on reflecting on expectations and a short meditation at the end.
