225. Set Your Standards So High People Think You’re Crazy
January can feel heavy. Life is busy, schedules are packed, energy is low, and it’s easy to fall into that “blah” headspace.
Instead of lowering the bar or going into survival mode though, this episode is a reminder that this is actually the PERFECT time to raise your standards. Yep - even if people think you’re a little crazy for it!
High standards make people uncomfortable. They don’t always match the room, the vibe, or what’s considered “normal.” Honestly? “Normal” isn’t exactly working for most people in our society anyway!
Here’s the key distinction: standards are NOT rules. Standards come from self-respect, clarity, and knowing what actually works for you. When you know who you are and what your standards are, there’s no constant negotiation with yourself (or others)!
Setting high standards is how you stop starting over. When you raise your standards, you take your power back, feel more confident, and realize you’re capable of WAY more than you thought.
Now go set some high f*cking standards this week, and let me know what they are!!
Episode recap:
- Why setting standards make people super uncomfortable
- How high standards often get misunderstood
- The critical difference between standards & rules
- Why people aren’t really triggered by your standards, but what they aren’t doing themselves
- Why high standards create ease (not pressure)
- Why knowing your standards helps you stop negotiating with yourself + others
- How setting clear & aligned standards is the key to stopping the cycle of starting over
