Letting Go and Going with the Flow

At the beginning of 2022, I was aware of some old and conditioned thinking that had resurfaced which included thinking I needed to have a plan as to what I wanted to achieve in the new year ahead. This old thinking appeared with some pressure and of course more thinking (that appears so real) that is exactly what successful people do. I was aware that I had feelings that where I was, was not quite good enough, like one always needs to be yearning for “more’. As if my success in life was contingent upon having a plan otherwise nothing worthwhile could happen without a plan and SMART goals. This scenario goes along with the saying, “that if you don’t know where you’re going then any road can take you there.”  I now say hogwash!

Getting caught up in my thinking was what I realized what was happening and noticing when I’m in a low mood, it’s easy to get tricked into believing my thinking.  Like there’s only way to be successful. In truth, there are many ways, not one “right” way. Noticing my state of mind is a key to understanding where I am regarding my own well-being. Learning to let my thoughts go, without giving them energy or focus, they will just pass on their own. Also, I was reminded to not believe everything, I think.

Since taking a deeper dive into the 3 Principles for the last several years, this planning thing has taken an about face, or should I say a paradigm shift. I’ve been seeing more and more that there’s another way to creating in my life. I know that there’s far more on offer in life than I ever knew. I know that life is living through me and that I’m guided in every moment or every step of the way as I’ve learned to trust my wisdom. I’ve become more comfortable in the not knowing, or the mystery of life which frees my mind up to just enjoy what is. From that state of mind, I focus on having a good feeling and that I always have full access to the creative energy behind all life.

What’s on offer for each of us is this:  we are connected to what’s called Universal Intelligence, Source, Divine Intelligence, which is the energy behind all life. This energy or intelligence behind all life flows through me, you, and everything on this planet. It’s pulsing through our veins right now. It’s the energy that beats our heart, helps us breathe, digests our food, and so much more. This infinite intelligence guides us whether we realize it or not.

 Since knowing about this connection to Universal Intelligence, my life has unfolded in the most amazing and often magical ways. Unknowingly, I found myself willing to give up the illusion of control and surrender to life as if I was taking my hands off the steering wheel. Surrendering to this greater power and knowing that I am going to be okay no matter what’s going on in my external environment. This deep knowing and trust became so evident for me when I set out on my JoyRide without a plan other than getting out of another Michigan winter.  Leaving space for the unknown, embracing the mystery, and trusting that things will naturally unfold proved itself to me over and over so much so that my JoyRide turned out to be an amazing magical year.

Learning to trust my wisdom also includes paying attention as to what sparks my joy. Paying attention to clues that show up as emotions, intuition, or what naturally lights me up is a way that I have learned to create my life. This approach to life is a more heart-centered, creative way to living my life vs navigating from my intellect.
