Often I hear about being in the flow or just go with the flow. It seems like some generic line from a movie and I always wondered can there be such a sensation. Well, I am happy to report after extensive research both in knowledge and by the first-hand experience of visiting oceans, mountains, and serene places, yes you can be in the flow.
Let me breakdown the concept of what I think is Free Flow, the feeling of being in the know, letting go, and trusting the process.
Being in the know:
This comes from accepting responsibility in your life and by practicing excellent self-management.
Letting go:
This is a combination of ideas from stoicism and zen.
Trusting the process:
One might think that letting go and trusting the process are the same thing. Not quite as here I am referring to the concepts of universal good and submitting to a higher power.
After going the three stages I have experienced the euphoric sensation of free flow more often than I thought. Life throws curve balls at you and after facing challenges head-on and reflecting on the lessons, I can again go through the stages and work towards being in the “Flow”.
