We create much of our own suffering, and I suggest that we all cut that out! Life sends us enough stress and challenge - why would we add to our suffering for now good reason?

Expectations can add to our suffering. 

Learning to modulate your expectations allows you to stay in the moment and enjoy your experiences, your people, and your moments.

Holidays are packed with expectations which can turn happy times into frustrating times - but it doesn't have to be that way.

Have a listen and share with a friend.

I appreciate you,
