No Need to Push the River

At Second Saturday one of the attendees made the statement “No Need to Push the River”. It was such an epiphany. Take a moment – read the quote again – then let it resonate within you.

What is interesting to me is that Sunday afternoon when I was preparing for the Vision Board Workshop, I was talking to a fellow tenant of the building and he was talking about learning to reduce worry and to allow things to flow. Mmmm, coincidence that the similar message was being given to me? I don’t think so!

Do you ever find yourself feeling like you are trudging up an unbelievable mountain with a backpack full of heavy rocks? Pushing against and pulling up to just try and take a few steps?  Do you believe this is the only way to move forward in your life? That life has to be difficult in order to just live it? Do you lose sleep worrying about things?

How does one shift the thought process? First, be aware. Be aware of all the signs and information that is being brought to you, pay attention to the repetitive messages. I find myself on Instagram scrolling through the quotes and there is always a similar message to me and I find myself smiling. Spirit is providing you information all the time. Your highest self is providing information to you also.

Once you become aware of the messages and signs, you get to start choosing whether you stay in the thought process you currently are in or change it. What to change it to? What do you want more of in your life? That is what you change it to. If it is to have less worry, then focus on peace. Welcome more peace into your life. When you become aware of worrying, then stop, take a breath, and tell yourself, I welcome peace into my life. By simply stopping and changing your thoughts, you change the course of your life.

Instead of fighting against the thoughts, you are learning to go with the flow, to allow in what you desire more of, there is no need to push the river.

Until next time – – sending you love, light and peace of mind.
