Appreciation over expectation.

Appreciation over Expectation. I find that this is especially helpful when it comes to what we expect of ourselves. 

All too often we place unrealistic expectations on ourselves and on the outcome of our efforts. Feeling defeated when these expectations aren’t met, we quit and give up. 

I find that when I practice appreciation over expectation, I can persevere, pivot and appreciate small, incremental growth without abandoning my efforts all together.

This is extremely crucial when starting anything new. While virality is a possibility, it’s often not the reality. For some of us, growth takes time and consistent effort. And it’s worth it!

Give yourself the gift of appreciation and grace.
