This meme is exactly what I need to hear from time to time. Very early on in my sobriety and prior too, I had lots of expectations of how others should act, how I should be, and how my life should be. Today, when I allow life to happen with no expectations for any outcome I can truly be at peace within. I can take what is given to me and respond as needed with anger, fear or stress. It’s a simple thing that can wreak havoc on our lives, like our emotions, physical health, mental health and those around us. I’m learning with each passing day I’m sober that my life can be smooth sailing when I let go of expectations. As soon as I grab that old habit back I quickly cause problems for me and others. Try for today to let go of expectations. If anything at least acknowledge that you have them. Once we begin to see that we do have them we can then let them go.
What expectations do you have today?
