Life Gets to Be Easy: How to Change the Level of the Game You’re Playing

What if life only feels hard because you’ve been programmed to believe it must be? Imagine if you could switch from “hard mode” to “easy mode” in an instant—just like changing the settings in a video game.

Life gets to be easy. Many won’t agree, but it is my belief that we get to choose the level of hardness of our life, like a video game changing the level.

My belief is we choose hard. We have been programmed to believe that life needs to be HARD… Hard work, Hard dedication, Hard.

We believe that the more we struggle, the more we will be rewarded in the end. I was brought up Catholic and heard all my life: “Genna, life is hard for those who go to heaven. The harder your life, the more God will reward you for your hard life, hard work, HARD anything.” But here is the thing… that’s all programming. Everything is programming, and we get to choose to program ourselves to ease rather than hardness.

We choose hard because it’s been programmed into us that the harder life is, the harder that we tried, the more success we feel when we achieve the challenge. Again, like a video game. Because in all honesty, that’s all this life is. It’s a game called Life. When you are in the video game, you choose the tempo, you defeat the mission, and you feel achievement and accomplishment at the end. The same goes for life.

Every movie in society has programmed us with the hero’s journey, the common template of stories that involve a hero who goes on an adventure, is victorious in a decisive crisis, and comes home changed or transformed. If you went to a movie where the character starts off really happy, life continues to be happy for them, and then it ends with them even happier, without any challenge, would that be a movie you would want to see?

Probably not, because the truth is we like the drama. We like the drama of the movie. We like the heart-wrenching emotion, the sadness, the anger, the adrenaline.

Because of this, you are choosing the tempo of your life. You are choosing the ease or hardness of your life. And it doesn’t have to be hard. It gets to be as hard as you need it to be for you to feel accomplished, achieved, and successful. If you want, you get to decide that your relationship, your health, your finances are going to come easily and naturally, without conflict, drama, hard work, or fighting. You get to feel accomplished, achieved, and successful in the ease of this rather than the hardness.

We are at a point in history where I would like to see the world transition to knowing that life gets to be easy if they want it to be. I want to see people going to the movie not for the drama or conflict but instead for the joy, the pleasure, the ease.

My truth, my story is: I was born into Hard. I was born into a HARD childhood, HARD teenage years, HARD time finding the love of my life and husband, HARD time making money… until I decided one day, years ago, to change the level. I decided that I didn’t need life to be hard and that I wanted it to be and come easy. I decided that I don’t need the hard to feel accomplished, achieved, successful. That my greatest feeling of achievement is waking up every single day in a state of peace, a state of love, a state of joy, a state of ease.

Sure, I have HARD moments because again it’s programmed into us, and me. I still often feel the great feeling of “success and achievement” when I solve a difficult problem. And so I choose hard moments for the fun of it, the pleasure of it, the joy of overcoming and solving the problem now and then. But life in general for me is easy.

My relationship with Levi is blissfully easy, its truly the 100% easiest thing in my life by far and easiest relationship ever had and i've had LOTS.
Being a mother, I’ll be honest, has challenging moments but is truly the easiest thing I have ever done. It’s the greatest mission of my life, my truest greatest pleasure, happiness, and fulfillment. It comes so easily and naturally to me that I cry tears of joy so often.
Money is easy.
My health, while I am struggling with a rash and itching right now, I am healthy and it’s easy.

All because I chose, and still choose, for life to be easy, with hard moments for the fun and pleasure of problem solving.

If you are struggling with a hard life and want it to be easier, the solution really is so simple and easy. It’s one sentence:

“Change the level of difficulty in the game of life you’re playing to the level you most prefer: easy, moderate, or difficult. And know you get to choose to change it at any time, for any different area of your life.”

If you want to get visual, you can even close your eyes and imagine yourself changing the gear of difficulty from difficult to easy… or imagine an easy button.

This is your life. You are the main character. This is your game, and everyone in it you have hired to play a part for you in your game of life.

Follow the path of least resistance and choose to change the level of the game you are playing. It’s that easy.

Try it for one week, then message or email me what you notice and how life changes.

Love Always,
