Or perhaps this should be helpful expectations…
That’s the thing about how we look at the world.
Because how we frame our expectations makes a huge difference.
Especially now.
Here are wise words from someone who is an expert in being confined – and still remaining hopeful – the astronaut Anne McClain.
Reminder that stress happens when expectations aren’t in line with reality. When we can’t change reality, it’s best to focus on our expectations.
Expect to do things differently.
Expect to need to adapt.
Expect to be out of your comfort zone.
Expect to put others first.

It starts with a pause.
A moment to catch our breath, and step across a different threshold.
Together.
