Let’s talk expectations…
When I first decided to pursue this venture, I had to make sure I was approaching it in the best way possible. What that mean for me was … what kind of expectations do I have about this process? Am I holding some kind of idea in my head and, if so, how rational or realistic is that idea? Do I have any evidence to support my expectation? The answer for me was a resounding “NO" - I have never done anything like this before! How would I really, truly know what was to come? I couldn’t! But at the same time, I held confidence in my ability to figure things out. I did some research, I asked questions, I sought support, and I broke it down in a way that made everything feel more manageable. It was still scary and uncertain and worrying, but felt doable at the same time. I was able to check myself and my expectations, and it helped me reset my overall approach to this journey. I allowed space for the hesitation and uncertainties while finding ways to move this all forward. I think this notion is one that can be applied to different examples and areas in all of our lives. How does this resonate with you?
