Welcome to let it be easy with Susie Moore.

I want to share with you today a thought that I have, a conscious thought that I employ and remember

when life goes wrong. Okay? Because life will go wrong. You will have disappointments, you will have struggles, you will have challenges,

people will let you down, you may be betrayed. Life is a real mix of experiences, right? And no one gets through life unscathed and by the way that's not the goal right you don't want to like run through life you know with your head covered in your hands going I made it through life unscathed. That's not the goal of why we're here, right? We are here to expand and to grow. Like it's almost like we're ships right? We're meant to go out to sea like that that is, we're safe in Port, we can certainly

stay there, but that's not why we're built, right?

We are meant to go out and experience life

and develop and grow ourselves and know ourselves and love each other.

And even when we're doing that, consciously, lovingly, doing the work, listening to this

podcast, for example, it's really, really easy to get thrown off when the stuff hits the fan, right?

I'm conscious not to swear on these podcasts by the way because I know some of you listen with your families and I mean with my

interviews we my guest do as they will but I just I always like to keep it nice in

PG for you but you know what I'm saying here right when stuff goes wrong I would use more

explicit language when stuff really goes wrong and it does to all of us often it's

completely unexpected stuff Stuff just happens.

This is life.

We tend to go one of two ways, right?

We have like two lanes.

We can go to the thought spiral of, oh my gosh,

this is terrible, I suck, life sucks, the future

is bleak, and we have the somatic symptoms, right?

We feel heavy, we feel scared, our body can feel tense, anxious, stressed, that's one lane, right? There is another

lane and you can guess which lane I'm always going to be taken if it's available
