Letting of attachment and expectation for better results.

Many of our everyday interactions hinge on attachment to results and expectation that they should go well.

Realistically, not everyone will be excited about ideas or even hear us out. It may not even be our fault. Someone may be having a bad day or simply not present when we are speaking to them.

So how best to manage bad reactions (in our judgement anyway, which is extremely subjective) to our ideas and opinions?

Simple. Let go of attachment to the outcome and any expectation of things going well. Let others be right, ignore you if you are wrong or praise you if you are right. Observe simply what is rather than what is not.

Sounds zen, right? Well, it is. Yoga and meditation teaches us to observe, appreciate and let go of attachment and thoughts that distract us. Following this simple practice can save us lots of frustration and agitation everyday.
