Bring awareness to your egoic reactions
Expectations (don't identify with them)
If we want to control our ego, we need to lose our expectations.
We need to accept the "what is" in every situation. if we have ideas about how things turn out then we are identifying with the future outcome and resist what is if it turns out not to be your expectations.
We need to identify when our expectations make our ego come out, for example:
Unfairness - When we put our expectation "that's not fair".
We think things like "why does that happen?, to me" = victim mode.
Our "pain body" will try and use any situation to get fuel for our ego.
Accepting what is is much easier when you drop all past and future thoughts, focus on now only.
In a relationship (time spent together / ideas may differ)
You can have certain expectations but you need to take charge of your ego response.
