Notes To My Younger Self:

Expectations: Any thought or word proceeded by the word “should” is typically tied to an expectation.

“He/she should help me…”

“That’s what good—friends, parents, partners, neighbors, siblings, bosses, coaches—should do…”

“If he/she loves me, they should act like…”

“If I want to be important, I should look, behave, speak, do…”

“I should do… to show them I care”

“If I want to be healthy, I should do”

“I should appear like…in order to be accepted and cherished”

Releasing expectations of yourself and others is a surefire way to stand in your personal power; independent, resilient, clear-minded, confident—immovable.
