Doing what I must do
before before burnout becomes a reality
never dreamed about and much less expected

~*~*~*~*~*~*

I believe the idea of reducing expectations qualifies as one
of those "absolute musts" when dealing with our ever
fluctuating pressures and responsibilities of life.

A stubborn refusal or delayed decision to make adjustments
where they may be made -- especially where and when the need
for such acclimations stand screaming to be recognized --
can (in my opinion) contribute to...

Physical weariness,
Emotional drain to say the least,
And burnout to name the worst.

Taking my personal "expectations temperature" and making
ruthless judgment calls as to whether or not I am harming
myself in an attempt to live up to these standards can be
very beneficial.

And how do you take an "expectations temperature?" While
certainly no expert, I might suggest asking questions such
as these...

"Are my expectations realistic?" And, "Are they realistic
regarding where I find myself at this stage of my life?"

"Are my expectations based on truth? Should I be, or do I
really need to be, feeling this way right now?"

"Do I *really* need to feel guilty about this? I mean,
really?"

"Do I have too many expectations in view of my present
emotional, physical and spiritual state of being?"

"Are any areas of my life screaming from the sidelines
saying: 'Listen! You've *got* to adjust or you'll crash!' Am
I listening to these cries for action or avoiding their
pleas?"

"What small, doable, adjustments could I make to ease some
of the pain, relieve part of the pressure, or reach that
important goal without killing myself?"

"Can anyone help me make the needed adjustments in my life?"

Obviously, the matter of making adjustments owns a sensitive
piece of real estate on the landscape of my heart.

And should the truth be told...

Were I not in the process of harmonizing the
responsibilities and expectations of my life by making
creative choices to do so *this very day,* sailing in my
world would be a lot, lot rougher.

For what it's worth,

Lee
