Good Afternoon - Lynn here.
Popping in to say hi to share an energy tip for your week ahead.
In today's rapidly changing world, life can often feel overwhelming and confusing.
However, if you're feeling lost in the chaos, there’s a clear way to feeling better.
But before we dive in, first take a moment to consider your current approach to life.
Do you often choose intentional living and embrace a brighter future? Or do you lean into worry, struggle, and uncertainty?
The decision is yours, but the secret recipe for feeling good is best served with a side of hope and purpose.
We have two ways to approach life.
There are those who let life be easy and those who make it more challenging than necessary.
We can live by expecting change to come from external sources, or we can embody the change within ourselves.
We are all in this together, striving to succeed in life. It's just a matter of how we participate – with gratitude, grace, and ease or by constantly fighting against ourselves and others. There's always a middle ground between these two extremes, but the point remains clear.
The fate that we experience is within our control.
We can live life on our own terms, connected to a peaceful state of mind and being, as opposed to living unintentionally amidst drama and dysfunction.
We have the power to choose for ourselves.
However, it gets tricky when those closest to us choose a different path. There's a real possibility that our loved ones will choose drama over peace.
As unique individuals with free will, we each adopt our own approach to life.
The challenge arises in understanding this idea and navigating our relationships with one another.
As individual souls, we are energetically connected, but it's important to maintain our individuality while also learning to coexist harmoniously.
In my experience, focusing and maintaining my own energetic frequency and flow lets life unfold naturally and effortlessly.
When we simply focus on our own energy, we can still positively affect others but in a gentler less instrusive way.
It feels magical when you find your energetic flow.
In sports, it’s called "getting in the zone." It's a unique mental state where everything flows effortlessly, and peak performance is achieved.
In tennis, professional players describe it like this:
“It's a wonderful feeling when you're in that state of mind where everything is working for you. You feel like you're in the zone, and nothing can stop you." -Roger Federer
"When I'm in the flow, everything seems to slow down. My movements become effortless, and my shots feel like they're guided by some higher power." -Serena Williams
"It's like you're playing on autopilot. Your body and mind are perfectly synchronized, and you can anticipate your opponent's moves before they even happen." -Novak Djokovic
"There's a certain calmness and clarity that comes over you when you're in the flow. You're completely present in the moment and nothing else matters." - Maria Sharapova
"It's like you're playing in a trance. You're not thinking; you're just reacting. You're completely immersed in the game and everything else fades away." - Rafael Nadal
"It's like you're playing in slow motion, but everything is happening faster. You're completely focused, and your movements are fluid and effortless." - Andre Agassi
The primary challenge we face is understanding what helps us enter and maintain a state of flow and the habits and practices required to achieve this consistently.
By reading this far, you're already stepped closer to embracing the flow state for yourself.
Mindfulness training, even if you just start with 5 minutes a day to let your brain get used to sitting still with your breath and thoughts, is a gentle first step towards letting life be easy.
Here are five methods to reconnect with your breath & body to achieve a desirable state of flow.
Mindful Breathing: Focusing on your breath, paying attention to each inhale and exhale, helping you bring awareness into the present moment and connect with your body.
Body Scan Meditation: This practice involves concentrating on each part of your body, scanning for sensations, and bringing awareness to any areas of tension or discomfort.
Yoga & Pilates: Both are mind-body practices that combine physical postures with breath awareness. Regular practice can improve body awareness and promote relaxation.
Mindful Movement: Participating in activities that require you to be present in your body, such as dance, martial arts, or hiking, to develop a greater sense of connection with your body.
Sensory Awareness: Attune yourself to the sensations of touch, taste, smell, sight, and sound to connect with your body and the world around you.
Find a method that works best for you and make it a regular part of your routine.
It’s also important to do these practices without distractions. You need that time to connect with the deeper part of yourself to get used to listening to your body and the deeper part of you.
These practices will nurture and elevate your sense of well-being.
….. until next time many many sweet blessings.
Love + Wellness to you!!
