Don't Stop Mopping the Kitchen, Just
Stop Expecting Them to Notice

The holidays are here. And I've got a sure-
fire way to enjoy yourself more this holiday
season...and beyond.

Let go of your expectations. Expectations
are a set up for resentment - and worse (as
I'll explain in a moment).

We all do it. You think, "My spouse will be
so happy because I did the dishes and mopped
the kitchen." And then your spouse comes
home in a bad mood and doesn't care.

Or you think, "My best friend will love this
gift!" And she doesn't.

And, if you're lucky, you can let it go. But
more often than not, you develop some
level of resentment. It's not your fault
really. You had an expectation and it
wasn't met.

Your expectations are insidious. They creep
in even when you are feeling altruistic and
ruin things for you because they set you up
for disappointment.

For the next two weeks try letting go of
expectations and see what it does for your
peace of mind and your humor nature. Eastern
philosophy has preached this for
years. I'm betting you'll notice your humor
nature will be freed!

How do you let go? To let go of
expectations you'll need to focus on a few
things differently.

1. Make sure you are doing things for you
and you only. Selfishness is not a dirty
word! Don't do something because you think
it will have an effect on someone else, do
it because it reflects the kind of person
you want to be.

2. Develop different ways to nurture
yourself. Don't put as much stock in how
anyone else is treating you; don't allow
someone else's reactions or responses to
dictate how you feel about yourself.

3. Take yourself less seriously. Laugh
with yourself; realize that you are supposed
to make mistakes - but YOU are not a
mistake! And you don't have that much power
over someone else anyway!

Try not setting expectations for the next
two weeks. And the next time we talk I'll
reveal a little known perspective regarding
your expectations. It'll give you a great
start on the new year!
