The answer is always *more flow*
increasing the flow |
We often hold ourselves back waiting for things to be the way we want them before we take action. We hold back our voice, our gifts, waiting for circumstances to feel perfectly right, out of fear that if we give them out now, that will be it and they’ll be wasted. So we wait and wait, trying to figure out how to get the circumstances just right. Enough people listening, enough knowledge, enough resources - we are waiting to feel perfectly certain and safe before we act. But the thing is - the circumstances don’t just show up; they are created! They are created by stepping into the flow. The more you share, the more you receive, and the more you can share! Don’t worry that the ideas, message, creativity that you’ve got now is the best you’re even going to have, and so hoard them. The more you put them out there, the more you will build the flow, and new ideas will come that you never could have thought of until you began! Give to receive.Not because you have to do something to earn. it, or do enough to deserve it. But just as a way of stepping into the natural abundant flow of the universe - which is always in motion. So step into that! Don’t hang on to things in fear of there not being enough; that is just reinforcing scarcity to yourself. Blood vessels enlarge through use - not by sitting still. Our capacity to give & receive increases through use - by giving and receiving! Let go of whatever you are hoarding - time, energy, money, ideas, hovering so protectively over it all in case it runs out. We fear - but I don’t have enough energy to give it away, I don’t have enough money to use it for what I really desire, I don’t have enough time to give it to what really matters to me. But what if the reverse is actually true? What if you give some of that time or energy to something that really matters to you, and you come away with more than you began with? Because hoarding it, is not actually protecting it. It is stagnating, often even ebbing away, and never being replenished because there is no flow. Restart the flow!Even just a little to begin with. It’s not an all or nothing thing; you don’t need to go from zero to hundred. It doesn’t have to be any one thing either. All of it is energy - time, energy, your voice, your love, your money. What is happening in one area, tends to what’s happening in all areas - and so flow in one area can start to overflow to all. Feeling like you don’t have enough money? You don’t have to immediately go give away or spend buckets of money to receive more. I’m not talking about putting yourself in debt, or massive deficit. You don’t necessarily have to do anything with money at all at first. Where in your life, whether seemingly directly related to money or not, are you holding too tightly to something? It’s all connected. Begin where you feel the most ready and able. Where do you have the most capacity to give freely right now? Without force. What’s asking for release? Say the words you’ve been holding back on. Have that conversation. Share the message. Move your body where you’ve been holding too still - where you feel the most tension, begin to gently move it through, whatever you’ve been holding there. Dance, swim, or even just sway! Release the emotions you’ve been holding back - tears, laughter, love. Express those things. Even fears - have you been holding anything back because you don’t want to face it? Release it in a safe way, by being really honest about what you’re feeling in your journaling. Start to do things that make you nervous - let the feeling through through intentional actions, instead of being dammed up in your mind and body. Create, paint, free write. Start intentionally slowing down in the areas that feel the most pressured or frantic - this is releasing your tight grip on time. Redirect where you energy is going - over-giving or forcing it out of expectation or obligation is just as constricting as hoarding it all. Withdraw a little from energy draining things, and turn that intentionally towards more aligned things. Away from the things you feel you ‘have’ to do, and into the things that you actually desire - that feel expansive. Your family, the people you love, the projects that light you up & energise you - that is a sign that you are in the flow, when you what you give to, also gives to you! Imagine your life if you only did those flow things?When everything you gave to - time, energy, love, money - also gave to you. Burnout and scarcity would never be a thing. Imagine how abundant your life would feel in every way. It feels bold, audacious, radical, maybe even impossible to live your life like that - to only ever do what amplifies the flow, and saying no to everything else. But just let yourself imagine how it would feel - how expanded you would become! Just entertain the idea - what if it were possible? I’m here to tell you, from experience - it’s actually far far easier than you think! Because you don’t have to leap all the way there - you just start somewhere. Replace one heavy thing with one light thing. Remove a little clutter in one area of your life. Wherever feels easy - or doable, a little challenge is not a bad thing. It can even be exhilarating. But you never have to jump into the places where it feels too difficult. It never has to be hard - because as you do whatever is easy right now, the flow increases; your capacity is expanded. And things that previously seemed to hard, now feel easy too. And you just do it then, once that feels easy. And the flow increases more, and more - until even the impossible things seem easy too, because your capacity to give and receive has increased as well. Let your future self guide youIf you envisioned your future self from my previous emails this week - remember: your future self was created through a thousand tiny moments & shifts between that You and where you are now. A baby learning to walk first goes through a thousand stages of moving and strengthening their body, long before that first step. But they don’t doubt themselves. They don’t pressure themselves to jump straight to walking when they’ve only just a started lifting their heads. Nobody gets up from the couch and runs a marathon on their first day. Let the energy & love of your future self guide you - not to have to BE her immediately, but to help direct your focus; direct your energy; guide you to how & what to release; how to receive; the next aligned action to take - how to get into the flow that makes that envisioned future self not just possible - but inevitable. And, by the time you are her, easy. Because you started with gently expanding your capacity a little every day. So wherever you are wanting to receive more - where in your life can you gently redirect energy today? Where can begin to expand your capacity to receive, by restarting the flow through how you give?
