EPISODE 17: Hey guys, Jason here (again).Before Dayna is back, I'll be doing another solo episode.And this time, let me ask you if you relate to this:You ask your partner, spouse, or your kid to help you with the laundry, and they do. But when they don't fold the towels just the way you would fold them, you get angry at them for doing it wrong.As a result, they stop helping with the towels altogether. Now you get upset and say things like, "Now I have to do everything myself," or "It just never gets done." I know - I'm 100% guilty of that.But why do we fall into this trap? After I spent a certain amount of time learning about new and different ways of viewing the world, I realized that it comes from getting too attached to a specific outcome.It's like when you have high hopes for a much-hyped book or movie and, after reading/watching it, you end up disappointed because you compare it to a perfect picture you created in your mind.So, this week, I want to share a 4-step You-CUE plan for how to let go of expectations and regain control so you can see your relationships with your partner, kids, and other people in your life in the ways that work out for you and appreciate them for who they are.Well, I’ll include some chocolate chip cookies in the story as well… after all, who doesn’t like them? And if you do, make sure to check out the full episode.Tune in now!Key Takeaways:Intro (00:00)Why do expectations lead to disappointment?
