<If Life Feels Lacking in Freshness\u2026><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

When I was a single mother raising my children, I once attended a party. I dressed up, curling my hair and putting effort into my appearance. There, I enjoyed a conversation with a woman I had just met. As the conversation unfolded and she learned more about me\u2014especially the fact that I had three children and was a single mother\u2014her relaxed smile faded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This woman was about ten years older than I was. Our conversation continued, but at one point, she jokingly remarked, \u201cIf you\u2019re a single mother, you should be wearing wrinkled clothes and looking stressed.\u201d I didn\u2019t take her comment personally, but I did start to wonder why I had attracted this situation. What was it within me that was resonating with this moment, hearing these words through her, and feeling something stir within me? Was it something I could let go of?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The words \u201cattachment\u201d and \u201cexpectation\u201d came up within me. I began to clean with these thoughts. By the end of our conversation, the woman asked, \u201cHow can a single mother of three look so refreshed?\u201d I simply replied, \u201cI meditate often.\u201d Yet, even as I spoke, I continued cleaning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The reason I\u2019m sharing this old story now is that when we hold expectations, big or small, we lose our natural rhythm. When we\u2019re out of rhythm, we experience emotions like anxiety, doubt, anger, and disappointment. It’s also important to recognize that expectations aren’t just reserved for positive outcomes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to hopes like \u201cMarriage will make me happy\u201d or \u201cI\u2019ll be free once I save this much money,\u201d we have countless assumptions that shape our daily lives. We expect that single mothers should look a certain way, that middle age restricts us from certain things, that Americans don\u2019t understand certain things, that certain people won\u2019t understand us, that our family will react negatively if we do a certain thing. We live each day guided by these expectations, both positive and negative, instead of following our own unique inspirations, rhythms, colors, and energy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If hearing this evokes discomfort or sadness, it\u2019s a great opportunity to start cleaning expectations. Pay attention to the background noise of \u201cthoughts\u201d that flow almost constantly, and look for those \u201cshoulds,\u201d \u201cmust-bes,\u201d and \u201cthis is how it is\u201d beliefs. Catch and clean with them one by one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As you continue this catch-and-release process, you\u2019ll likely start to feel a shift within yourself. Just like a child who realizes they can now ride a bike naturally, you\u2019ll begin to notice a freshness and purity around you, like discovering a new perspective you hadn\u2019t seen before.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Peace,
