characteristics of effortlessness

While I was away at the weekend I came upon a piece of paper headed 'four characteristics of effortlessness', reflecting and affirming what I have been trying to do in this campaign. 

...The critical point being that it is important to seek happy and positive outcomes from the election and there is no way to do that with a sour face.

Anyway, I had posted these points on to several people by email and then was reading it to a friend who rang this evening... he thought they were terrific and agreed they should be posted here:

So here they are, four characteristics of effortlessness:
  • Focus on how we feel inside rather than on the results we want to achieve
  • Act from inner calm rather than giving way to anxiety and tension
  • Refuse to lose composure in the face of external pressures
  • Know that performance is intimately connected to pleasure, so keep our attention on finding enjoyment in activities
