We've all felt frustrated, withdrawn, and powerless at some point when our expectations aren't met. And this can really affect our relationships and bring us down into depression or ramp us up into anxiety. However, the truth is that our feelings are a result of how we interpret the world around us. We delve into how our expectations of our partners, children, bosses, and friends can often create a sense of powerlessness and frustration, and how we can reclaim our power by taking responsibility for our feelings and expectations. 

We have an inherent freedom and of course, it comes with responsibility, and I think the responsibility is to look at our own expectations and be aware of them and be accountable to them. Where do we have those expectations? Literally everywhere. And once again, expectations aren't bad. We all have them. We're going to have them, no matter what.

It's what we think and believe about what's happening that makes us feel how we do, and this is where we have control, and I know it doesn't feel that way, but I'm hoping to invite you to consider that this is how our feelings come to be. They come from what we think at any given time, and the good news is that we can work with what we are thinking.

So if you want to lower the amount of hurt in your life and get your emotional power back, join us for today’s episode!
