How To Let Go Of Your Expectations | Bliss Through Mindfulness

I am working through a mindfulness workbook by Tessa Watt. 

 One point she mentioned in her book is the concept of letting go of goal setting and the constant seeking of results. While it's natural to look for a result, but necessary to take a break from that way of thinking in order to find your peace. 
You can still incorporate these ideas into your life even if you're not yet practicing mindfulness.
Watch my latest video here! 

 In my latest video I discuss:

  • Why we need to suspend our judgment about ourselves and the things we don't like- you can't be judgmental and accepting at the same time. You must not judge the fact that you are in the non-striving and non-doing phase... stop judging yourself for that and accept where you are in the moment 
  • How it's all about slow progress and retraining our habits and thought patterns- we don't always see those major shifts at the moment as they are occurring... they show up over time
  • Realizing and being aware of what triggers our anxiety and a one minute practice that can help you cope in those moments- learning how to calm down and cope 

  • Accepting where we are and who we are right now, although we are striving for greater- it's important to appreciate the here and now, and not be constantly thinking about what's coming next
  • Letting go of the "constant doing" mentality- all my fellow busy bees need to hear this 
  • How acceptance can open us to new opportunities and possibilities, and even allow for positive change 
  • Learning to give up control- even though it can be scary, learning to give up control will make you a happier and healthier person
