Stop! Be easy. Just be easy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This is a phrase\u2014well, a version of a phrase as translated to English as I can get it\u2014that my grandmother used to use all of the time. As she remains one of the smartest people I\u2019ve ever known, I have returned to this phrase (and so many other) time and time again. The way this phrase is ported in American popular culture as \u201cgo easy on yourself.\u201d As should be obvious, but worth saying out loud, the message in this phrase is that we are often too hard on ourselves. We set the bar for excellence or productivity or success way too high so that often we find ourselves disappointed in our own performance. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
