Welcome to my blog to share my experiences and things I am learning during my journey to better wellbeing
All in Expectations
I confess that I am a serial procrastinator, I mean I even put off writing this blog! There are lots of reasons why we put things off that aren’t to do with being lazy. This blog explores why we procrastinate and some tips on how to address it
We often have high expectations for January just because it’s the start of another calendar year. But it’s really just like any other month as likely to be filled with the ups and downs of life’s rollercoaster. Instead of dwelling on the disappointing, upsetting or frustrating things that happen, I am going to OFFSET them against positive, rewarding and happy things. And if there aren’t enough of those to cancel out each other, I will go out of my way to create them.
Saying no is important - so that we can manage our workload and avoid stress and free up time to do more of what makes us happy and fulfilled and adds the most value. But saying no does not always come naturally so in this blog I think about why it’s challenging and how to think about the reasons differently.
This New Year let’s try not to put more pressure on ourselves - we have enough to contend with. Rather than having high expectations and risk disappointment, I am going to lower my expectations and am making a few pledges to help me get through the current challenges instead of adding new ones.
