For all sorts of different reasons, many of us might place high and unrealistic expectations on ourselves. We know that many young people also place high and unrealistic expectations on themselves – just like in the 'Unachievys'. That’s why it’s important to try to recognise this, and practice how you can look after yourself and move forward.
We’re all on our own journey, and at headspace, we’re here to help along the way. Create a headspace account to access an online community of young people, join group chats, create your own personalised space, and get professional 1-on-1 support — all online and free.
