In many ways, we all live our life based on certain unconscious expectations.
\\nWe expect the weather to be a certain way.
\\nWe expect people to behave in a certain way.
\\nWe expect the train to arrive at a certain time.
\\nAnd when we dwell in these expectations, we set ourselves up for trouble.
\\nBecause we all know that at some point, something is not going to meet our expectations.
\\nWhen this happens, we will tend to judge the experience in a way that sets us up for clinging or aversion.
\\nAt this precise moment, suffering happens.
\\nWhen we practice mindfulness, we release ourselves of the unconscious expectations and willingly and intentionally accept what arises in the present moment.
\\nNow, we don\\u2019t judge our experience as good or bad and we don\\u2019t experience the clinging or aversion.
\\nAnd we don\\u2019t experience suffering.
