Does your life suck?
Do you always seem to be suffering and have no idea why?
Have you listened to a David Goggins video, gotten excited, tried to "embrace the suck" but it didn't work?
Summary
In this episode, I discuss the concept of expectations and how they can rob us of our enjoyment of life.
I'll go in-depth on the importance of being aware of our expectations and the narratives we create, and explain how practicing the 'no narrative, narrative' helps with letting go of expectations we can't control and focusing on enjoying the present moment.
I also cover the role of attachments and how they cause suffering and provide simple solutions like "the pause and ponder method" that aids us in learning to truly enjoy life.
