Adjusting Expectations: When Your Energy Doesn't Match the Needs of the Day

Adjusting Expectations: When Your Energy Doesn't Match the Needs of the Day

Some days you go to pull out the big hauler — the engine that moves your best work forward — and the barn door won't budge. Not because you're lazy. Not because you don't care. The energy just isn't there. This week Cameron gets honest about a Monday that didn't go according to plan, and what he's learned — over years of practice — about the difference between fighting your brain and adjusting your expectations. That distinction matters more than it might sound. Fighting the brain keeps you locked in cognitive rigidity, and the story that follows is rarely a kind one. Adjusting expectations is something else entirely — it's a skill, a practice, and on some days, an act of genuine resilience.

Cameron also revisits the Sisyphus problem: what happens to your 'boulders' when you set them down, and why having a trustworthy landing place to put them is so important.

Finally, Cam shares research on happiness and the benefits of movement and positive psychological practices, a central element of his Equanimity class just for women later this spring. The men's class will be in the fall.
