Have you ever felt like no matter how much you accomplish, it’s never enough? You continue striving forward, but it seems like the goal post keeps moving, and you can never feel fully satisfied with where you are in life. If you're feeling anxious, pressured, worried, and constantly stressing yourself with your own expectations, it may be a signal you’re placing unrealistic expectations on yourself—ones that harm your mental health more than they help. In this episode, I’m talking about what it really means to hold unrealistic expectations, how they impact high achievers’ mental health, and whether you should lower, adjust, or realign those expectations, to preserve both your ambition and your peace.
In this episode, you will learn:
- How to recognize when your expectations are working against you
- Ways to adjust your goals without losing momentum
- Tools to care for your mental health while staying driven
