The Psychology of Expectations: Why unrealistic expectations are premeditated resentments.

Happiness.

Its often thought to grow in direct proportion to our level of acceptance. Yet, expectations frequently limit our ability to connect with the lives we lead.

More than anything, our expectations often shape and color our perception of a possible reality; impacting those around us. And at times, they even become a self-fulfilling prophecy. After all… be careful what you wish for – it just MIGHT come true.

We speak today with Embodiment coach and Transformational Healer – Desiree Caminos discussing The Psychology of Expectation – on this episode of The Light Inside.
