Connecting Concepts . . Energetically, when we are starting low, we are usually in a state of resistance. So, when we realize we are resisting… we want to *stop* that because it feels bad and it blocks blessings. It keeps us out of flow state and intuition. . . . So I was thinking about this and how difficult it is to go from resisting straight to surrender & flow. Then I realized it’s because that’s not what is natural. . . What’s natural is to become curious. I was driving and thinking about well-to-do people with their nice cars, full time jobs, and disposable incomes. I resent that life a bit. At the same time, I’ve never wanted that life. But when I was thinking about that life on this particular day, I felt myself sink out of resentment and into curiosity. No, I don’t want that life… but why resent? No reason, of course, feelings are strange and I’m sure the explanation for my resentment would be layered and convoluted. Instead, I felt curious.. like maybe there’s something to learn. Maybe there’s an element of that life that would work for me, for my greatest benefit. . . It struck me - curiosity, that’s the ticket out of resistance. Which reminded me of Liz Gilbert’s @elizabeth_gilbert_writer work on Creativity. In her book Big Magic, curiosity is an ingredient that Liz swears by too. . . To break free from resistance, seek curiosity. When we linger in curiosity, we are open to other ideas and perspectives. We are merely giving ourself permission to become curious about other vantage points… it unlocks the cognitive dissonance we are trapped in. . . And once we are free from those mental chains, we can sink out of curiosity into full-on surrender. Because, really guys, surrender is where it’s at. The most creativity, flow, and intuition is always found in surrender: where we let go of what is for an opportunity to see what could be. . . . From a poem of mine: “I just sink and I surrender and I feel like maybe I’d like to hear a flower tell a story about a piece of me that I’d forgotten.” . . The only way out is through.
