I can erase my expectations, That's why I always use a pencil!


 My expectations come with their own eraser, so I can always make changes at will.

 

I strive to set fair expectations for myself. If I am working my hardest and still feel far off from my goals, I do not worry. I simply revise my plan. 

If I work half-heartedly and procrastinate, yet I still meet my expectations, then I know it's time to push myself a little harder.

 I make changes when I feel like I am stuck in a rut. I make changes when I need to spice up my life. As I learn and grow, there are new things that I want to pursue. My expectations reflect who I want to be. 

 Because nothing is set in stone, I reflect often and evaluate the path of my life. I have the power to change the direction of my steps at any moment. 

 

As I mature, I allow myself to make changes to my goals. When I erase something from my plans, I leave it behind me. I refrain from second-guessing.

 There are things beyond my control that may influence my ability to meet the expectations I have set for myself.  When this happens, I am accommodating. As long as I arrive at my desired destination under good means, I do not obsess about how I get there.  

I have an attitude of forgiveness toward myself. I treat myself with the same compassion that I treat others. I give myself room to be creative and spontaneous. If I find that I am striving for something simply because of societal norms, I immediately wipe it from my list of expectations. 

 

Expectations are not rigid laws that I must live by. Expectations are in my life as checkpoints to guide me in my journey. 


 Self-Reflection Questions:

 

1.     Have I set fair expectations for myself?

2.     Are there goals that need revising?

3.     When was the last time I evaluated the direction of my steps?

Wasting Time With Micro Timewasters

I t's   funny how we  notice when we waste time on a large scale. We notice that we spend an hour on social media or watch TV for three hours. However, these aren’t the only ways we waste time. We waste time in dozens of ways each day. Many of these time wasters aren’t always obvious, but the time can really add up over the course of a day, a week, or a decade.
