I just had an amazing dinner with someone who embodies spirituality and passion. Every time I meet with her we connect at such a fundamental level that I feel excited and passionate about my spiritual, personal, and business desires. She makes me want to live to my true self’s potential. It’s so fulfilling. Here’s one of our topics of discussion:

Going with the flow of life. I just wrote a post about flowing with life or against life and I brought that up to my friend and she completed the phrase by saying “the FLOW knows.” I thought that was brilliant. The flow is “God.” The Flow is “The Universe.” Flow is “Vibrational Energy.” Flow is “Buddha.” When you stop dwelling negatively on your current state and start consciously reaching for a good feeling, you will flow with your “TRUE SELF”, “Inner Being”, or your “Soul.” I always interject in my head to this statement, by saying to myself “How the hell, does it know where to go?!*#? Answer:The Flow knows which way to go because of you. In every situation you’re in that is negative, there is a “rocket of desire” that releases from you of a better situation. When you feel bad about a situation, you realize what you don’t want- which then makes you realize what you DO want. I know all you skeptics, ME INCLUDED, say what’s the catch??? There is one, but it’s not too bad. The catch is The Flow navigates the river of your desires on ITS path, not yours. Many times I have wanted to control where this river goes, but that’s not my job. My job is to focus on what I want and let the river flow to my destination. Being completely in the moment really helps me on this path. It is a little new for me to let go of the oars and follow the path. As a complete side note: while I was writing all these analogies on this post, I just kept thinking “God some of this is SO cliche.” Maybe it is, but the truth behind these phrases are incredible. Why would I think a thought like that? Self confidence is something I am learning to enjoy, but I still have moments of doubt. Anyway, one way to measure if you’re flowing with life or against it is to check in with your emotions. Ask yourself a couple of questions:

• Do I feel good?
• Do I feel Bad?
• What am I thinking right now? Do those thoughts make me feel good or bad?
• What thoughts would make me feel a little bit better? Then what thought would make me feel better than that thought? And continue to ask yourself.
• When you feel good, you are going with the flow.

Simple right? Just start being aware of how often you are not feeling good, and ask yourself the first question: Do I feel good? If no, make a conscious effort to feel better.

Two books are great for this type of thinking: Loving What Is by Byron Katie and The Astonishing Power of Emotions by Jerry and Esther Hicks.

Any thoughts?
