Staying in the Flow

I'm finding out what happens when you are committed and when you do admit you're powerless. What I'm starting to see is that things move to a place of ease and flowing. Things begin to happen. Sometimes they aren't big things, yet. Sometimes they are just little things, like ideas or interactions with someone. But there is a quality to the ideas and to the interaction that feels different. It feels like something is opening up. It feels good, exciting even. It has an effect on your day. It is easier to feel grateful and blessed.
So, what's next when you begin to feel this way? Keep it going, of course, but you can't force it. If you try to force it, you move out of the space and move into ego. Ego wants to force everything. Listen for the feeling of resistance or forcing or frustration beginning and stop there. It's time to focus on something else. You can come back to it later when it's the right time. Balance is part of it. If there are other priorities like home, children, husband, etc, those need to be given time, attention, presence. That is the way to continue the flow. Remember to do the rituals that you have set for each of your priorities, maintaining the commitment. Then it will come back around and it will be time to again work on the idea. And because you listened to those feelings of maintaining balance and priority, I suspect, the ideas and the next steps will follow. I will try this and learn and we will hopefully see what it is like to remain in the flow. Let's try this experiment together. ~ Julie
