We can never step in the same river twice. Like a river or any body of water, the universe is always in flux, and change and transformation are the only constant in life. We hit the ground running in today’s conversation with several lightbulb moments as we reflect on this universal truth, inviting ourselves to surrender and flow with the currents of the Universe, living in harmony with the Tao and the natural laws of creation.
Join us as we distinguish between “going with the flow” to thrive amidst transformation versus completely letting go, doing nothing, and stagnating. Sometimes, our best growth happens during times of change and discomfort. Our intention for today is to bring more peace into our space and lean into our transformation, and explore different ways we can welcome love and acceptance in order to flow with difficult times.
Take inspired action:
- Allow yourself to lean into transformational experiences every single day, no matter how uncomfortable. This is the essence of flowing with the universe.
- Explore the idea of being artificially strong in the face of transformation. How has this impacted your life before? When you find yourself in a period of transformation, allow yourself to feel what you feel, and accept this feeling whole-heartedly.
- Lean into your feelings and allow the universe to show you the love messages that will help you through the transformation.
