Be in FLOW

“Just because it’s taking time doesn’t mean it’s not happening.” 

You ever forget there is a greater entity working on your behalf that you start accidentally fuckin up your own life because you didn’t realize that you are in your own way and need to release resistance and flow with what is happening even if it is not happening on the time that you would like it to? 

No, just me..?

As I prepare for a major transition while in the midst of a transformation that quite frankly is a long time coming, I reflect on this year and where, just 6 months ago, I was experiencing a Tower moment. I realize in hindsight and even still today, sometimes I panic-act because the things that I wanted to accomplish or wanted to happen in a certain timeframe may not be happening. So I start doing what I think needs to happen, again, completely forgetting that I am not the only participant conspiring in my life journey. What I learned is that more times than not, had I not panic acted, I would land exactly where I needed to, probably with less anxiety. 

So how do we get tf out of our own way, especially when half the time we don’t even realize we are the ones blocking our inevitable blessings? 

I was never a fan of the word surrender. It’s mad passive and powerless. So I’ve been searching for something more fitting and I have finally found it. While I understand the intention behind surrendering to a higher power, but something about metaphorically throwing my hands up in the air and saying “yall got it” makes me freak tf out. The control freak in me can't take it. I know that, my Spirits & Ancestors know that. So to honor where I am now, I’ve replaced surrender with the phrase releasing resistance. It is more of an active verb than the former passive one, and it genuinely recognizes my need sometimes to get out of my own way, honor the work that I’ve done and hand it over to my cosmic team to bring it home. They got wayyy more power than me anyway. 

So here I am releasing resistance and I will not lie, it feels damn good. I have more time to devote to my rest and care practices and I’m able to work with less anxiety. Also, I understand and am starting to experience through life practice the phrase, don’t sweat the small stuff.
