Setting Realistic Expectations for Yourself
Negative self-talk often arises when we set unrealistic expectations and fail to meet them.
Instead, aim for progress, not perfection.
Break larger goals into smaller, manageable steps, celebrating achievements along the way.
Self-compassion is key—treat yourself with the same kindness and understanding you would offer a friend.
By adopting a growth-oriented mindset, you create space for mistakes and learning without self-reproach.
