The first place I start with my individual students is introduce my formula for success and eliminated unhealthy expectations. The three tenants include: (1) Identify and eradicate expectations that limit success. (2) Replace expectations with manageable objectives instead of “strict” expectations. (3) Replace expectations with high levels of self-confidence.
This may seem confusing at first, but it is really simple once you understand the concepts and how I define them. Expectations are strict rules you make about your performance. With expectations, you constantly judge how you are doing compared to how you think you SHOULD do. They create a very result-oriented focus. Confidence is a belief in your ability, but it is not judgmental or focus on results.
