It’s common to get caught up in unrealistic expectations and to feel as though we are thriving in them, eventually it catches up to us.
It’s often rock bottom moments, or someone else like a therapist helping you understand the toxic cycle of following unrealistic expectations.
Breaking this cycle takes patience, time and boundaries.
Thriving in unrealistic expectations may look like:
Seeking external validation
Not trusting yourself
Difficulty making decisions
Feeling guilt & disappointment
Body feels exhausted
Always thinking ahead
Having internal self-talk that isn't yours
Prioritizing others often
