How do you foster realistic expectations instead?
How do you foster realistic expectations instead? Step one: before every meeting, every date, every project, every party, every holiday, every book and every undertaking, draw a sharp distinction between necessities, desires and expectations. Step two: rate your expectations on a scale from 0 to 10. Are you expecting a disaster (0) or the fulfilment of your life's dream (10)? Step three: deduct two points from your rating, then mentally readjust to that number.
