During the ceremony, I was challenged to let go of something. A whisper came from within: \"Let go of all your past expectations, especially the ones that are keeping you anchor down.\"

Bear in mind that this was a spiritual night, and it\'s not about letting go of business or personal goals. The message I received was to let go of any attachments and feelings toward outcomes that haven\'t happened. It was essential to let the deceptive feelings attached to them go because it\'s my unhealthy ego that created these expectations.

The unhealthy ego is driven by fear, guilt, resentment, vengeance, and many other negative emotions that zap the energy.

How do you know if you have any expectations driven my your unhealthy ego? Well, it boils down to one thing: are you in alignment with your mind, body, and soul? Are you financially wealthy, yet you feel miserable inside? Are you feeling trapped, alone, or anxious? These feelings are the telltale signs that something is not in alignment.

Sometimes we expect things from others, things that we wouldn\'t do ourselves. Other times we expect so much of ourselves that we run on overdrive. We keep working and feel it\'s never enough. In the end, we finish up feeling exhausted.

In this episode, I share with you tips on how to give yourself permission to stop and find peace within.
