How Will I Flow Easily Today?

Releasing the tension to control can helps us find our flow.

Earlier this month, my right knee began to hurt. I couldn’t pinpoint a moment, though, when I injured my knee. I’m hobbling through my day, trying my best to work through the pain.

Last night, I had a thought: What if the pain is emotional?

So, I researched knee pain and Louse Hay, who published a book in 1976 called Heal Your Body. In her book, Louise connected the pain in our body to the pain in our emotions.

My right knee pain relates to my ego and pride. I had changes last year that I didn’t want and have often wondered what I could have done differently. If I managed my problems differently, could I have changed the outcome? What had I done wrong that had kept success at bay? I’m trying to find a way to control my past which is already gone. The fretting and regretting is taking its toll on my knee.

The salve to soothe the pain is a change in my thoughts. Rather than beating myself up, I can find comfort in this affirmation: “I bend and flow with ease, and all is well.” The idea that I can flow reminds me that I let go and trust my life. I also remember that I may have closed out a chapter last year but my book (and my life) is still unfolding. I haven’t reached an end but just another beginning.

This affirmation inspires this week’s question we can ask when we begin our day. We can ask, “How will I flow easily today?” so that I focus on flowing rather than controlling.

How will you flow this week?
