Expectations are Part of Our Ego
Dropping all expectations isn’t that easy.
We usually do not look at reality as it is, due to it coloured by our beliefs, ideals, fantasies, frustrations, and assumptions. Expectations become part of our ego and becomes the reason we feel discouraged, overwhelmed and inadequate.

Doing The Hard Stuff Easily
- Our mindset can help us to do challenging, difficult tasks.
- If we choose to participate in an experience, which we know is uncomfortable, difficult or taxing to us (like running, for example), it does not feel forced.
- If we love the activity, or the experience, the rush, the sweat, the wind, then it is not difficult for us. We are doing it on our own accord.

Why we avoid doing certain things
We often spend our days doing everything but that difficult thing we're dreading to do.
This happens because we're trying to protect ourselves from uncertainty. We don’t want to feel like we don’t know what we’re doing, to look stupid or to to feel overwhelmed.

At Ease
Our work, whether it’s a report we are making, cooking or on a Zoom video call, can be done with ease, in a relaxed restful manner.
The key is to not do any multitasking and give your full attention and devotion to one task. You'll finish the day feeling more refreshed than before.
Love Your Day
To go through the day with ease:
- Be nourished by nature when you walk outside, instead of being engrossed in your thoughts about work.
- Talk to the person in front of you, being present in the moment
- Be grateful that you are alive, and put a smile on your face.
