Listen. Because listening’s important:
Hi and welcome to the Re-Enchant Your Life reminder.
Your sacred pause in the day where you’re encouraged to take a moment to stop and tune into your inner wisdom and become present, so that you can reconnect to your personal power and confidently embrace who you’re becoming, as you Re-Enchant Your life and create the change you truly desire.
Today you’re being reminded to let go of control and let things unfold.
Letting go isn’t always easy, yet one of the essential cycles of life is to be able to stop forcing or exerting pressure.
The pause is as important as taking action.
You need both in your life.
Right now is a reminder for you to stop fighting the challenges and obstacles that you found yourself up against, and instead allow yourself to flow around them.
Just as water will always find its way to the river, you too will always find yourself in the place that you’re meant to be.
Sometimes the water crashes into the river, leaving a trail of destruction behind it, and sometimes it just does its thing and gently allows itself to be guided by the forces of nature and gravity.
Both end up where they’re supposed to be.
When you’re in the state of flow you aren’t pushing upstream against the river, or demanding it go faster as both of those seem pointless and a waste of effort.
In fact, if you saw someone doing that, you may find it almost funny… yet that’s how we can find ourselves living our lives.
What if just for today you gave up control, surrendered to the natural rhythms and currents you find yourself in, and focused on enjoying the ride?
In this very moment, just pause and take a breath, as you allow yourself to let go of control.
Today’s SHEro Action:
Today’s SHEro action is to let go of control.
Can you think of one area of your life, or one situation, where you are reluctant to let go of control?
Ask yourself, what is it that you’re really afraid of?
Try letting go of control and allow things to unfold in their own time and way.
That doesn’t mean you can’t actively contribute to the situation, but you stop trying to control the outcome.
Pause, and take a breath. As you allow yourself to let go.
Today’s Affirmation:
“I trust that events in my life unfold perfectly for me”
I’ll see you tomorrow for your daily reminder to Re-Enchant Your Life with me, Rebecca-Anuwen,
In the meantime, enjoy the freedom of letting go of control!
PostScript
Even though I really do understand and have experienced the magic of letting go and letting things unfold, I still forget and need reminding.
Just the other day I was trying to work something out in my business.
I was re-structuring part of it and although it was almost complete, I couldn’t get the final piece to work.
I talked it through with trusted people, I journaled around it, I wrote out and re-wrote the systems and flow.
I knew I wasn’t actually getting anywhere, but I kept forcing myself to try harder to work it out, especially as it felt so close.
Then I gave up. I stopped trying.
I spent the next couple of days just relaxing with friends and family.
Then unexpectedly, after putting my little boy to bed, I had an idea and went to my office to make a note of it, two hours later everything that I had been trying to work out, was all laid our perfectly in front of me.
Giving myself the time, taking off the pressure, and allowing things to flow in their own time, let the missing pieces find me.
