How do you react when you set a goal or expectation you don’t meet? Are you cool, calm, and collected and think, “Hey, better luck next time.” Or do you feel defeated, frazzled, or like a failure? I’m the latter. As a high-achieving, ambitious woman, I set goals or expectations I intend to reach, and when I don’t make them, it bothers me. I let it get under my skin, and it can affect my mood, outlook, and how I show up in my relationships.
Well, I should say, it used to until I learned this one trick about how to renegotiate your goals and expectations. Instead of thinking I failed or didn’t reach my desired outcome, I renegotiate it. As a result, I have experienced a tremendous change in my attitude and level of joy.
Hit play to learn the art of renegotiating your goals and shed the weight of unmet expectations.
