Life is unpredictable. 

Things will happen 

Some days you are going to run late

You’ll forget an important item

You’ll be overseen for a selection. 

Your Relationships will change 

Friendships will be lost

People will come and go, through heartache, differences or loss 

Your health may challenge you

Your life will challenge you… but at the end of the day, the show will still go on. 

“When you struggle against this moment, you’re actually struggling against the entire universe.” – Deepak Chopra

When you learn the art of “going with the flow” you learn to embrace & enjoy more satisfaction in life than your peers who spend time pondering what “could have been.”

No matter the structure we attempt to create for our lives.

No matter how many good habits we build

Life will always bring things that we cannot control 

These things can often be a huge source of anger, frustration, disappointment and stress, all because it didn’t go to plan. 

You find yourself stressed from these changes to what you expected & it ruins your day. 

So how can we break this cycle of disappointment … by learning to go with the flow. Learning to smile, breathe & move forward slowly.

Flexibility is taking what life gives you, rather than trying to manipulate life to be exactly as you want it to be.

“Flow with whatever is happening and let your mind be free. Stay centered by accepting whatever you are doing. This is the ultimate.” – Chuang Tzu

Here are some approaches I use:

* Realising that not everything is in my control.

* Becoming aware of all I am part of & my needs & the needs of others.

* Breathing through difficult situations, taking time out to regroup & centre myself. 

* Practice being flexible 

* Realising I can’t control others (a huge lesson in flexibility) 

* Accepting life changes and imperfections.

* Enjoying life as a force of change, a little chaos and a lot of beauty.

True, authentic freedom is found in the art of being Flexible
