Gretchen Ruben 4 tendencies
We all face two kinds of expectations—outer expectations (meet work deadlines, answer a request from a friend) and inner expectations (keep a New Year’s resolution, start meditating). Our response to expectations determines our “Tendency”—that is, whether we fit into the category of Upholder, Questioner, Obliger, or Rebel.
Knowing our Tendency can help us set up situations in the ways that make it more likely that we’ll achieve our aims. We can make better decisions, meet deadlines, meet our promises to ourselves, suffer less stress, and engage more deeply with others.

Know yourself
In order to be successful you need to know yourself and ensure all activity you undertake and goals you set are congruent with your lifestyle and aspirations and personality tendencies.
Undertake some personal exploration:
Spend time in nature; go for a walk; meditate; turn off devices, and notice what you notice.
