Reflecting on past expectations

Reflect on 'promising' moments

Spend 5 minutes writing about a time you felt you were living up to that 'promising' label. How did you feel then?

List your own expectations

Write down 3-5 expectations you currently hold for yourself that are completely separate from what others thought you might become.

Expectation perception scale

Think of a recent interaction with an old friend or teacher. On a scale from 0-10, how much did you feel their expectations hovering in the room?
