Expectations

This past week I have found myself evaluating my expectations of people around me and of certain situations. When something doesn't go the way you expect or think it should negative thoughts can grab a hold. Those negative thoughts then have a tendency to linger and redirect your focus and energy from where it needs to be.

Thankfully I have been aware of a few of these moments which had different outcomes or timelines than expected throughout the week. When those negative thoughts pop in I put the brakes on and ask myself instead what lessons/gifts can I learn and take away from this experience. Oftentimes those lessons can require some redirection and extra effort and that is where the gifts come in. It can be a bit of a battle overcoming those negative thoughts, but if I keep looking for the opportunities being presented and do the work required, the benefits could be amazing!

Namaste,

Michele Ward
