Expectations For Myself

[Samuel Garcia]

After watching the video about having proper expectations, what should I expect from myself? Is it best to try and 'hypnotize' myself into believing I can do it so I feel confident or have no expectations for my performance? Afterall they do say believe in yourself. 

What mindset has worked well for you in the past?

Having expectations for myself is something I've struggled with for SO long. My problem is that my self expectations are completely unrealistic for myself. I expect too much. Don't fall into this trap.

That being said, what are you wanting to accomplish? Try checking out some of Leo's other videos on setting goals and gather a timeline of how long you think this might be achievable, then probably double that timeline.

Being confident at something can be as simple as re-framing your words from 'I'm not sure I can' to 'I got this.'
