Learn practical tools to identify and manage the expectations you might have for yourself and others. Unidentified and unspoken expectations can cause friction inside ourselves and in our relationships with others. Understanding what our expectations are contributes to internal peace and healthier relationships.

This skill is useful any time, but can be especially helpful as we head into the holidays!

DID YOU KNOW?

We often hold expectations for ourselves and others that we don't even know about.

Sometimes they can sound like this:

  • They shouldn't drink/eat so much.

  • They should call me more/less often.

  • They should know how to support me during this difficult time.

  • I should want to go to this event.

  • I should be over this by now.

  • I should be able to do the same things that (another person) can do.

Expectations like these can be a major source of internal and interpersonal conflicts, and many of us don't even realize that they exist!

In this workshop, we'll talk about what some of these expectations look like, and how we might be holding on to them for ourselves and for others.

We'll learn how easy it is to make judgments based on these expectations and to feel irritated by them. You'll see how much more peaceful it feels once you identify these expectations, then use your will to decide if they're worth communicating to others or letting go.

You'll come away with practical tools to help you identify and manage those expectations in all of your relationships.

Experience the freedom that comes from making choices rather than letting your expectations - and emotions - run the show!
