I Choose to Live in Easy World, Where Everything is Easy

This simple phrase changed how I move through my days — a shift from pushing to allowing.

☀️ Every so often, a simple phrase finds its way into your life and quietly changes how you see things. This one did that for me. It slipped into my thoughts one day and somehow stayed — a gentle reminder that life doesn’t have to be a struggle.

I later discovered the phrase comes from Julia Rogers Hamrick, who wrote about living in “Easy World” as a state of being — a mindset where ease replaces effort and life unfolds with less resistance. I’ve never read her book, but that single sentence was enough. It found me at the right time, and somehow it stuck.

🌿 These days my time is largely my own — no office hours, no endless lists or deadlines — yet it’s still so easy to feel overwhelmed. There are always things calling for attention, even in a life that looks spacious on paper. When that familiar knot of pressure starts to build, I pause and repeat the mantra in my mind. My breathing slows, my shoulders drop, and the noise quiets down. Suddenly, there’s space again.

💭 For me, Easy World isn’t about avoiding effort — it’s about releasing struggle. It’s the difference between forcing and flowing. On the golf course when I start overthinking my swing, or when technology misbehaves just as I’m finishing a post, I take a breath and whisper it again. It reminds me that I can choose ease over agitation.

✨ The shift is subtle but powerful. Once I choose ease, things really do start to line up — calls return, ideas appear, the next step becomes clear. It’s not magic; it’s simply energy redirecting itself once we stop pushing so hard.

Living in Easy World is an act of trust. Trust that life can unfold without the constant strain. Trust that solutions can be simple. And trust that we’re allowed to let things be easy.

So, if you find yourself tightening up today, take a slow breath and remind yourself: ease is always available — you just have to choose it.

☀️ A gentle reminder that ease doesn’t mean apathy — it’s the grace of letting life flow through you, not against you.
