Without hustle.

Some dictionary definitions of hustle:

Have the courage, confidence, self-belief, and self-determination to go out there and work it out until you find the opportunities you want in life.

Force (someone) to move hurriedly in a specified direction.

Coerce or pressure someone into doing or choosing something.

Engage in prostitution.

Hustle is striving. Wanting to make things happen (read: force things to happen).

It's the opposite of elegance.

Nature never hustles.

When we are running a hustle, we are not in integrity.

Hustle energy is not calm, curious or compassionate. It's not coming from our best self. It is most likely a child part of ours that has learned that this is the only way to move forward.

We can choose to let go of our hustle. We can choose to align with the effortless, abundant energy and connection that is always on offer. When we align, things happen that want to happen with more ease than we can imagine.

Anything you do solely to influence others, rather than to express your true nature, is a hustle. Being polite to get approval is a hustle. Flirting with people to make them feel special is a hustle.
