Flow….

In the book, “Flow”, it is defined as: the state in which people are so involved in an activity that nothing else seems to matter; the experience itself is so enjoyable that people will do it even at great cost, for the sheer sake of doing it.

While painting or deep in a full design for a client I have felt that overwhelming depth of fulfillment and deep joy in what I was doing. Those moments I felt badly for people who had jobs they hated and were doing things that sucked their life from them. In the last few years I have fallen too far into that trap with all the life being pulled from my soul. On rare moments that joy has arisen then has been squashed with harsh realities of betrayals and lost trust in people. To say it has been a struggle is a definite understatement. It still is.

I pulled out that book tonight. A reread is in order. I downloaded a 28 day yoga/Pilates app on my phone then sat with a long breathing guided meditation. Flow is here somewhere.

Life becomes a struggle far too often for so many of us. Healthier and wiser decisions need to be set in place. The merry go round in my head spins out of control when those struggles overwhelm me. Perhaps for a few minutes tonight I felt the beginnings of that “flow” that I have not felt in a very long time in my heart. A heart that needs healing from all the hurts and longings….all the rejections and loss of trust…all the overwhelming sadness. Yes, flow is here somewhere.

This journey of life should “flow “ for all of us, even in the midst of hurt and sadness. May we all take pause and think through what we can do to unblock that flow. What makes us feel alive and so immersed in what we are doing that nothing else matters at those moments. Those moments that the hurt and sadness takes a backseat and we can breathe if even for a few minutes.

Yes, flow is here somewhere…keep at it my friends..it is there …there for the sheer sake of doing it…now back to my book❤️
