There's only one way you can have your expectations met, but an almost unlimited number of ways they can be broken. See how this primitive process that evolved to improve our chances of survival is now one of the main reasons we're unhappy. Also learn what you need to do to rewire this outdated programming.

When we day dream and make plans, we visualize perfection, how we WANT the future to be.

So what happens when our mind notices that we didn't meet those expectations? We didn't get what we wanted? It starts to complain about what was supposed to be, instead of allowing us to enjoy what is.

We should definitely use our mind to make plans, but we should not allow our mind to get upset when those plans fall short. Being unhappy serves no purpose. It doesn't change anything about our situation. All it does is release small amounts of stress hormones into our system

Don't expect this episode to be any good, and you won't be disappointed.

Love everything, and love everybody.
