I feel like every side of me is pushing in with expectations. Add on top my own needs and beliefs about how I should be performing at work, at home, in my relationships, etc., and I am feeling like a pressure cooker on high heat. There is only so much pressure one can take before exploding or imploding every where. The question arises on how to let go of all of the expectations and pressure and not fall totally apart especially when others are depending upon you daily. Do I just surrender myself to all that is going on and ask for help or keep trying to pull myself up by my bootstraps?
