The Tyranny of Expectations is the title of this week's podcast because holiday times are packed with expectations. We can generate all kinds of unnecessary suffering by: 🟥 Creating expectations with a flavor of unicorns and glitter (e.g., "everyone will get along and be pleasant over holiday break") 🟥 Getting disappointed or agitated when our expectation aren't met 🟥 Generalizing our disappointment ("you always/never...") and creating negativity that we don't need to create Have a listen and let me know what you think. The link to the episode is in the comments. It's a quick 14 minute listen. #holidaystress #integrativepalliative #MedEd
“Expectations with a flavor of unicorns and glitter” might just be my new favorite phrase—it’s so real.
