Ep9 Great (Or Not So Great) Expectations

Sol Rising

What kind of expectations do you have of your friends, your family, of yourself? Should you have any expectations at all? And if so, what should they look like? Can having high expectations for yourself be a pathway to manifestation? Is the idea of having no expectations an easy way out?

Ginny & Amanda talk all things expectations in this candid, thought-provoking, and honest episode that is a great follow-up to episode 8 about boundaries. Some questions and ideas they explore are:

• The pros and cons of having no expectations, realistic expectations, and outrageous expectations (of yourself and others)
• Expectation-setting as a way to express your self-worth and your need for respect in a relationship
• Learning to cope with disappointment if someone doesn't meet your expectation instead of trying to emotionally self-protect by not having any expectations at all.
• Feeling let down does not indicate your value or determine your self-worth
• Expecting someone to fill a need when that need should be filled by someone else, or yourself
• Removing roles (and accompanying expectations) in your relationships and considering that maybe you are meant to fill a need for someone who you believe should be filling that need for you
• Expectations as a tool to elevate yourself and others
