This episode spoke to me on so many levels as I have set myself up to be hurt or to fail far too much by expecting something instead of being present in what it could/might be. I hope you can take something from this episode and start taking back control of how your environment and others affect you. If you liked today's episode leave a review it would help me so much in reaching others who might desperately need this message. Thank you to my loyal listeners I love you.

Episode Notes & Key Takeaways

Letting go of expectation

• Intro
• Talk about high and low of the week
  • High: I noticed myself not reverting back to old patterns and behaviors when something has gone wrong. Becoming more mindful.
  • Low: Questioning myself and my purpose
• What does it mean to have expectations?
• Expectation has a notation of “what I expect” a positive connotation usually. We hear the term “high expectations” but we can have negative expectations as well.
  • Others
  • Yourself
• Moving with the flow
  • Allowing things, people, and circumstances to be seen and recognized for what they really are and not what we want them to be.
  • This allows for you to not get confused by potential and reality
• How to let go of expectations
  • Simply being and living in the present.
  • Take things for exactly what they are.
  • When you find yourself running things through in your mind take a look at what is actually happening
  • Don’t compare situations from your past treat each experience as if you have never experienced it before. This is key in relationships.
• Anxiety
  • A lot of anxiety is “what ifs” which is just another way of setting things up / or having an expectation in your mind instead of just allowing it to play out.
• Letting go of expectations allows you to live a more present, more authentic, happy life.
