In this episode, we explore "The Manual," a set of unspoken expectations we hold for others—like partners, friends, or coworkers—believing they should behave in certain ways to make us feel good. When these expectations aren’t met, it can lead to disappointment and resentment.
The issue with the Manual is that it places our emotional well-being in others' hands, leaving us feeling powerless. By letting go of these expectations and taking responsibility for our emotions, we reclaim our power and create healthier relationships. This involves recognizing our unspoken rules, evaluating their usefulness, and communicating our needs clearly.
Letting go of the Manual allows us to stop trying to control others, appreciate them for who they are, and focus on building more fulfilling, authentic connections.
