Welcome to Let It Be Easy with Susie Moore.

Dreading something is in fact making plans for it to suck.

Think about it.

When we, it's called pre-paving, when we pre-pave an event in our mind we are really

setting the intention for how it is going to go because my friends expectation is a very

powerful force think about it this way if you've got that negative friend or maybe that negative colleague

and you're going to spend time with that person, you kind of brace yourself a bit, right? You're like,

okay, this is going to suck, but maybe I can just limit it to a couple of hours. You know, I've got to

like really just pull it together for this. Pre-paving. You're already setting the

intention for how it's going to go. You're imagining it and you're stepping right into it.

It's the same thing with a situation. If you're like, oh, I've got to go to this doctor's appointment

and it's going to suck. Or I've got to complete this project and it's going to be really, really hard and arduous. Or I'm taking this on and it's going to suck. Or, oh, I've got to complete this project and it's going to be

really, really hard and arduous. Or, oh, I'm taking this on. It's just a huge endeavor. It's going to

take so much out of me. This is pre-paving. And I would like to ask you a different question today,

because, look, we do this in life life we tend to expect that past experiences are

going to be repeated if we're going into similar situations with people with circumstances with

events we use past data to dictate future experiences it's just sort in our minds and our memories

what if instead we opened our curiosity

valve and we thought to ourselves, I'm going to allow myself to be surprised. What if this person,

what of this event, this gathering, this thing that I would typically dread, what if it could surprise me?

Because this is what happens, my friends.

For example, okay, let me put this in context for you.
