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?

Strolls amidst nature are therapeutic

When it feels like I have very little steam left in my engine, I head to nature. I find an outdoor environment and get lost in it. There is something healing and renewing about fresh air. Inhaling the scents of the elements of nature connects me to my origin. I am reminded that I am naturally strong and capable. Outdoor time allows me to heal difficult relationships with friends and family members. The fresh air gives me a clear mind and a shift in perspective. The same is true when I am searching for new business opportunities at work. I am more innovative when I seek inspiration from nature. I become creative by observing the intricate patterns on leaves and the precision with which nature feeds itself each day. Strolling through the forest nearby teaches me that it is possible to live well with others. When I see the plants sharing the same resources each day, I know I am capable of living in harmony with my colleagues at work. There are enough opportunities to ma

How to Streamline Your Daily Schedule and Increase Efficiency

Do you usually feel like there are not enough hours in the day to accomplish everything you need to do? Sometimes it seems like the laundry or the dishes will just have to wait until later. I know for me, when I let things accumulate, I get overwhelmed, and then I either don't do anything at all, or I look for a distraction, usually food or shopping. The thing still doesn't get done, and it's a perpetual cycle. That's why as hard as it is, we must do things when we need to. Otherwise, they don't get done at all. Or we find ourselves having to do them when we truly don’t have the time for them. Then, inevitably, something else has to be put off. This scenario also applies to work. When a project has a deadline, it’s important to devote all of your undivided attention to it, or it won't get completed. Time management is a critical aspect of every job – from planning to executing. Your schedule needs to be structured to support efficiency and
