We
always think of expectation from others. But have we ever dwelt on how much
some of us expect from ourselves? To be a perfectionist is one such
expectation. “I want to do everything to perfection and I can almost kill
myself just to prove to myself that I can do it.”
The flip
side of this can be very damaging. Unrealistic expectations from the self can
cause much stress, anger if unable to reach the self made benchmark, depression
accompanied by low self esteem.
To relax and do your best is
a good way to handle life. Often, the benchmark we think is ours can actually
inspired by impressing someone else. And sometimes, it can be a trait from the
past or past lives that continues due to karmic issues. Any kind of imbalance
distorts. Expectations is a need that is perhaps better transformed into a calm
attitude of dealing with what comes your way to the best of your ability
without getting hyper.
