Ever notice that stress is linked to expectation and changed outcomes?
When we have an expectation and attach ourselves to a given outcome, we can feel frustrated or upset when things do not go as planned.
So what would it feel like to take away your expectations?
For example, you wake up in the morning expecting to have a "normal" day but then the bus is late or the car won't start so you are late for work. So then you can't get your usual croissant on the way to work and don't have time to respond to your emails before your meeting.
It's a simple enough scenario but one that most of us can relate to in some way. This is the point at which you have a choice of how you respond to the situation that you are in. You can feel irritated and annoyed all morning which in turn can turn a tricky morning into one of those bad days OR you can recognise that things are not going the way you expected or planned and so allow yourself to live in each moment and so to speak "go with the flow". See what happens next. You'd be surprised how accepting each moment as it comes and living it fully (even feeling upset) can completely alter the day that you experience.
So breathe out and see how your day unfolds
