For some reason I don't think I understand what I'm supposed to be doing this week. Week 3 was clear. I even kept a notebook of negative thoughts. But I'm not sure how to practice limiting expectations. Also, my thing isn't holidays or perfect trips. I don't care about those things. I accept them for what they are. I'm not even sure where my expectations get out of control. I suppose making a list would help. Can someone help me understand how to practice for this session. Thanks.

Making a list would help you out. Think about the things you expect from yourself...do you expect to master something the first time you try it?

do you expect yourself or others to do things perfect?

Do you expect people to react a specific way to a specific situation?

Do you expect people to know how you are feeling?

Do you expect people to always be understanding?

Try asking yourself these questions and ones similar and that'll help you out.


Intelligent people are ones who have knowledge and insist things to be right.

Wise people also have knowledge but they are the ones who can use it to benefit everybody instead of being right.

Wow, I do expect to master something the first time I try it! And I do expect people to react a certain way. Ahhh, I see. That really helps. Thanks!
