Are You Moving at Someone Else's Pace?
Mar 27, 2026
Anticipating, managing, and trying to meet the expectations of others is common. Very human.
But it can take up a lot of energy. And that's the case whether those expectations are realistic or not.
It may feel like you are moving at someone else's pace rather than your own.
When external pressure starts shaping your pace, it can be hard to hear yourself clearly and come back to your own needs and values.
Choice or Pressure?
I'm not in the camp that thinks that other people's expectations are irrelevant. The expectations of someone else may very well matter.
You may respect their hard-earned opinion. Your boss's opinion matters. Relationships come with certain fundamental expectations that don't feel like pressure.
But there is a tipping point.
What's yours?
