In Other Words....
Prepare to be amazed.
According to Google, the average adult makes up to 35,000 decisions in a day, with the vast majority flying below the radar of our conscious awareness.
Regardless of decision fatigue, we are the culmination of our decisions - the current self - your personality, habits, and circumstances - is the direct result of the choices and actions you’ve taken throughout your life.
The collective sum = your identity and present situation.
Carrying it further:
Your past shapes your present; Individual responsibility marks accountability; the continuous process = defining yourself further.
No single defining action shapes your complete journey.
The potential for change empowers you to direct conscious and intentional choices while molding your future self.
The power of intention is key bringing into focus what type of life you desire.
Let’s use the analogy of a flowing river to better understand the art of allowing.
Instead of fighting the current or trying to force your way upstream, you surrender to the natural direction of the water, allowing opportunities to unfold and achieve outcomes in less complicated ways.
Indicators for Allowing:
Acceptance - you accept the present moment and current circumstances.
Focus on the positive - you focus your attention on what you want, aligning your thoughts and feelings with your desires, and not the desires of others.
Indicators - you experience positive emotions, feelings of ease, and a sense of flow. Outcome - it leads to transformation, personal growth, and the freedom to make positive changes.
Indicators for Resistance:
Fighting reality - you fight against what is happening, trying to change the situation or make things different from how they are.
Focus on the negative - you focus on what you don’t want, which blocks your desires from manifesting. Indicators - you experience negative emotions like anxiety and stress and feel out of alignment.
Outcome - it creates inner conflict, keeps you stuck in negative patterns, and drains your energy without delivering results.
In other words, we find ourselves with another decision to make - between resistance or allowance.
This is where setting intentions can be invaluable.
The catch is, when you set your intentions authentically, define what you want, but then let go of the need to control how and when it shows up.
There’s the rub.
Resistance highlights the stress and futility of trying to control all outcomes in life. The “art of allowing” is a spiritual and psychological practice of surrendering the need for control and trusting that things will unfold naturally.
