Expectations
We all have expectations when it comes to our daily lives, things that we want to accomplish, or things we expect from those around us. Do we need to manage our expectations, are expectations healthy?
Are expectations healthy, and can they have negative impacts?
What are your expectations for CONNECTED or should I say specifically when it comes to different types of writing pieces?
1. Why this, why now
Connected is a space for storytelling, sharing thoughts, ideas and learning from each other as a community through storytelling. Your favourite book/ tv show pulls you in because of the story line. You there is tension which gradually builds up; which makes you want to know more. You ask yourself what is going to happen next and with each scene it either makes you want to watch/read more or you think to yourself why am I actually watching/reading this.
We hope to create value and for this to be a space which you constantly come back to and share about to your loved ones.

Let’s get back to expectations
If you are constantly expecting certain things to happen or people to do things for you, there is a lot of heartbreak waiting around the corner. When it comes to having expectations towards people in our lives it is important to make sure we keep the same energy.
Basically, when you have certain expectations for other people, do you also show up in the same way? In many cases, our expectations can exceed reality and if things do not go as we expect, it can have an instant effect on our moods. In my case having low expectations can be beneficial. This might not be the best approach, but I have learned to have low expectations when it comes to pretty much everything in my life. Instead of fixating on possible outcomes, I wait for things to play out themselves.
The content we consume can also have a huge effect on our expectations.
If you are constantly on social media, it results in you having certain expectations for your life because you see it on people's post. Basing our goals on what we see on social media can be harmful to one-self. I am not saying do not dream big. Just make sure you are basing your dreams on something you genuinely want to achieve and not because you are trying to imitate someone else's lifestyle.
The expectations we have for certain outcomes or people influences how we see them and act. It also works in a similar way to the expectations people have towards us.
To new beginnings!
