Expectations and Stress

"To free us from the expectations of others, to give us back to ourselves - there lies the great, singular power of self-respect." - Joan Didion

"Letting go helps us live in a more peaceful state of mind, & restores balance. It frees us from unnecessary stress." - Melody Beattie

Expectations and stress are highly correlated. The bigger the gap between expectations & reality, the greater the stress. Employees who experience steady and predictable management behaviors and practices are less likely to consider themselves stressed or bullied at work.
