How Unrealistic Expectations can hold you back and what to do about it
Hello Reader,
Unrealistic Expectations can be your worst enemy.
Our brain has a tendency to automatically set unrealistic expectations for ourselves.
π«
We tend to Over-Commit and then beat ourselves up when we don't deliver. We tend to underestimate how long something will take.
How many times have you put your head on your pillow and thought, oh I never finished... the dishes, the emails, the school paperwork, etc... And then felt guilt about it? π
Yet- I bet if we look at your day- you got a bunch of things done.
Your brain does not focus on what you Got Done- it highlights what you Did Not get done.
All the while- it wasn't realistic in the first place.
Instead of having these unrealistic expectations:
#1- Expect your brain to tell you - you can do more
#2- Take something Off your list.
(Yes- you heard me- take something Off your list, or maybe a couple of tasks Off your listπ₯)
Focus on getting the highest priorities done- and remind yourself to be realistic with your time.
What will you take off your list today?

Warmly,

Although thinking of my brother's passing still makes me sad, today I remember him with joy. Instead of death being only a sad experience, death becomes a part of life today. Itβs like we bring back the spirit of those that have passed and we honor them...
Hello Reader,Although we are bringing awareness to this important day- today is not about celebration. Today is about building awareness so we can create a Mindset that will no longer tolerate getting paid less than. Let's build the Awareness around the importance of knowing our numbers! - Do you know how much you have in your bank account right now? - How much you have saved up? - How much did you paid in taxes last year? It is important and vital to our Money Mindset to know our numbers!...
Hello Reader,The Latina Equal Pay Day Challenge: Day 2On day #2 of the Challenge - I want to focus on the importance of boundaries. When you create boundaries in your life- you decide what you are staying no to. When you decide what you are a no to, the things you are saying yes to - get stronger. There is so much power in creating boundaries for our life. As women, I find that we say yes to way too much.And this affects our time, which then affects our money.For today- your assignment is to...
