Question

How do you cope with overbearing expectations and pressure?

Answer 1

Other people's expectations do not have power over you unless you give it to them. You need to start training yourself to be your own judge. Brainstorm a list of "Things I would like to do but other people would not understand." Then begin doing things on the list. Start with stuff that would puzzle other people but not send them into a tizzy. Work up to doing things that they would throw a fit about--or NOT doing things that they are expecting you to do. You have got to make this a priority. Living life according to others' expectations & pressure is horrible. You will die never having lived your own life.  

Answer 2

I don't think about my problems, therefore the pressure and expectations don't exist in my jurisdiction.

Answer 3

Read God's word.

Answer 4

Begin to set limits.

Learn how to say NO!

Remind yourself that you are only human.

There are only so many hours in each day.

Be a leader and delegate some of the responsibility to someone else.

Take some of that pressure off yourself.

I hope this helps.  Good Luck.
