Get What You Want In Life By Raising Your Expectations
Have you ever considered how your personal expectations influence what you accomplish? By simply raising your expectations you can accomplish much more. The trick is to know how to push yourself further without going over the edge.
Why raise your expectations?
Depending on your current situation in life, you might be wondering why you’d want to increase your expectations. If you expect more then you’ll also push yourself to achieve more.
Can you think of a time when you didn’t expect anything out of a situation. I’ll bet you were neither fulfilled or unhappy with the result because you didn’t really care.
Having greater expectations will certainly give you a greater chance of achieving bigger things but it also makes you more vulnerable to making mistakes. Don’t let these hiccups get you down, learn from them and use the experience to change your approach.
Here are some proven methods to help raise your expectations:
1. Challenge yourself with difficult tasks. Pushing yourself is best achieved by doing difficult tasks. You might not meet with instant success, but this learning experience can be the starting place for doing even bigger and better things in the future.
2. Expand your comfort zone. Staying comfortable is another way of continually playing it safe. When you expand your comfort zone, you open yourself up to new and exciting things. You’ll then come to expect more from yourself just because you’re comfortable with more.
3. Set a big goal. Find something challenging that you want to accomplish and share this with someone you trust. Now you’ll be committed to achieving it.
4. Go on an adventure. Try a survival training course, this will show you how to get back to basics. You’ll discover more about your abilities and your natural limits. You can then use this self-awareness to challenge yourself to new experiences in future.
5. Continuous learning. Never stop working on yourself, make it a habit to improve yourself. When you do, you will find that new experiences and opportunities simply fall your way. The new knowledge and skills you continue to acquire will support you in your quest to raise your expectations and achieve more.
Higher expectations will also help raise your self-esteem. What you think you can achieve is very important because it decides what you will achieve. When you raise the bar, you enable yourself to do more and be more than before.
Always remember how powerful your thoughts are. As you make the effort to raise your expectations, you are also strengthening your abilities and self-worth. See yourself in a positive light and you’ll be better prepared and able to achieve your goals.
Try these strategies to help you get what you want by raising your expectations of yourself, and enjoy the pride and fulfilment that come with doing great things!
