Lowered Expectations

Raise your hand if you’ve ever tried to be someone or something else to get or keep a relationship. No, seriously. Get ‘em up high!

Why are we so bent on having it all and then some? Feeling the pressure to live up to other people’s standards to be a good mom, perfect partner, earnest worker and driven lover and giver of life is EXHAUSTING. For all the talk about life balance out there, one writer has had enough, and is singing the praises of an unbalanced life.

Martha Beck , a freelance writer, mom and life coach, says that once we let go of the expectation that we must be everything to everyone we can find the freedom to live as our own hearts desire. Being free of the burden of expectation looks like taking greater risks in work and in love—and it also means being able to improve our relationships across the board, because when we are living well, we are communicating and responding well.

Do you feel overwhelmed trying to live a perfect and balanced life? What effect is it having on your relationships? [CNN]

I made a promise to tell my testimony all over the globe once my man come back to me and my husband came just as DR abaka told me when he helped me. I made the right choice to have contacted DR abaka the great spell caster who is capable of helping you solve your problems. My man left me to suffer and i never believed that he will come back to me again but when i contacted DR abaka he assured me that my man will come again. he gave me some list of items to buy but i could not get them in my country and so i sent him the money and he bought the items and prepared the perfect love spell. My husband ran back to me in 3 days time begging for forgiveness THIS IS SO REAL AND GENUINE. NO SCAMS. I was so surprise that the spell worked just as he told me. This is so amazing and i want you to believe because DR abaka is so real and i urge you contact him now on his email so that he can also help you the way he helped me. email is Drabakaspelltemple@gmail.com and you can also contact him with his phone number on whats app +2349063230051 you can also check and contact him on htpp://Drabakaspelltemple.blogspot.com

HOW TO GET YOUR EX BACK WITHOUT PANIC
I am Michelle from San Francisco. i want to testify about powerful Dr keke Odin for saving my relationship.I must be one of the few who don’t have a trouble showing and telling someone how grateful I am for making my relationship a melodious and smooth relationship. I have been trying to be more positive about my relationship with my boyfriend, it seems like it has taken forever. Another lady took my Fiancee away from me and they both relocated. i cried and searched for him to come back but he refused to take my calls nor return my messages. My friend introduced me to a powerful spell caster called Dr Keke Odin who helped me cast a very powerful love spell that brought back my Fiancee in 24 hours. i was amazed and surprised when my fiancee called to beg me for forgiveness all because of the powerful love spell of Dr Keke Odin. dont fail to Contact Dr Keke through the following means if you have any Marrital or Relationship problem. his contact information are

The more "perfect " I try to have everything, the more stressed I become. Somehow I am driven, others se it in my "perfectionist", I cannot get out of that mindset! I am always trying to do "one more thing" with exhausts me metally and physically. Then I cannot enjoy the event that I was preparing for in the 1st place. Preparing for a snow storm with groceries, supplies,....next thing, I am down with illness by running myself down shoppoing and runnig around to get everything "just right" for a snowbound weekend.
