I know the feeling… Things just aren’t lining up the way you want them to. They aren’t falling into place as you had hoped. Or maybe it’s not happening fast enough. I am sure we all experience this from time to time. So what should you do?

The first thing I do is to change my mindset. When I feel myself getting frustrated or when I start to feel the anticipation coming on, I find it is best to stop and remember that my agenda is not always the best agenda. Everything happens for a reason and the Universe has a perfect schedule in mind even if it doesn’t always feel that way to us.

Sometimes it is necessary to just stop the frustration, or the anticipation, or whatever you would describe the feeling as, and look at the bigger picture. When we try to force things to happen according to what we want and our schedules, we are missing the full picture. The Universe holds more knowledge than we can ever imagine from our own limited point of view. Sometimes we just need to surrender, let go, and know that all is as it should be. When the time is right, it will happen, and if it doesn’t than that is also right. That is not an easy thing to accept oftentimes, however when you do embrace that thought, you will experience a sense of peace.

When I change my mindset and allow in that belief that all is as it should be and that the Universe knows what is best, I immediately am able to release the tightness in my body and let go of the stress. Doing so also allows you to get in a flow with life so that you are no longer fighting an uphill battle, and instead you are flowing with the beautiful stream of life. For more information about getting in the flow, you can also sign up for one of my free teleclasses called Get In The Flow. Just go to: www.FaithsTeleclasses.com for more info.

The human race is usually so consumed with trying to gain control over our lives that what happens is that we are blocking flow. We end up controlling our lives in negative ways because we have closed off the Universal flow. We only hold within us a limited amount of knowledge, but when we open up to Universal knowledge, our lives become easier. This is because when we are working from our limited minds and trying to control our lives with these limited minds, we encounter many hardships because we don’t really know how to proceed. We then move through life having to constantly learn from our mistakes because without infinite knowledge, we will of course need to gain more knowledge in order to accomplish our goals.

When you trust, you open yourself up and you allow the Universe to lead you along the right path by letting control go. It’s not an easy thing for most of us to wrap our heads around, however, because we feel that letting go of that control will mean our lives might go spiraling out of control. The opposite is actually true however.

Here’s an example of controlling your life in negative ways. Do you know of someone in your life who has decided that happiness isn’t in the cards for them so they’ve just given up and resigned themselves to an unhappy life. Perhaps they are unhappy in their job but the thoughts of leaving it seems too scary so they just keep on enduring. Having that mindset cancels out all possibilities. How can there be possibilities when there is such an unwillingness to allow them to come into your life? They are being blocked off. You are only controlling your life in a negative way.

Or maybe you know someone who is bound and determined to accomplish something and they just keep struggling because it never seems to happen. I am by no means saying that you should not have goals and strive to achieve things that you want. Of course you should. But the biggest thing you need to do is trust. Give up the control. That person struggling to achieve something so hard may be striving so hard because she is trying to do it in one certain way and that’s the only way she sees. She is not open. She’s trying to pound a square peg into a round hole and the Universe is saying, “no wait, here’s a round one.” And she’s saying, “No thanks, I’m gonna make this one work, damn it!” You see, you must remain open. When you do, you will have gotten in the flow of life and things will come to you with ease.

When you learn to release the control so that you can allow in possibilities and transformation, you will find that new opportunities come your way and new ideas and people come into your life who can help you. All these wonderful things come to you because you’ve opened a door instead of shutting it and saying “oh well, this is my life.”

Remember, it might not work your way, but your way might not be the best way for you. Be open to other ways.

We tend to go through life doing, doing, doing. We go to work, we run errands, we host holiday parties, we do house work and yard work. We do so much that who we are ends up becoming what we do in our minds. If I were to ask you who you are, you would most likely answer that you are a mother, a husband, a sales associate, etc. But that is not who you are! That is what you do. Those are only roles that you play.

Learn to be more focused on being instead of doing. We do do, do but we forget to be. I find that even when we read self-help books and listen to motivational CD’s, we read and we listen, but we don’t really experience them for ourselves. We don’t give them time to become part of us before moving onto the next thing.

When you focus on being, you will see life from an entirely new perspective. You will view life through the eyes of your soul, not just through your personality. Suddenly, the world become a different place. You are no longer wrapped up in the illusion constructed by the egoic mind, but are instead awakened and experiencing the beauty of life. Things will flow easier for you because you will be more in touch with your true self, since being naturally draws out your soul identity instead of your ego identity.

Focus on doing tasks with more mindfulness. We can’t get away from the many things we have to do, but we can change the way we do them. Add more “being” into them and life becomes more enjoyable.

Also learn to think of yourself in terms of who you really are, not what you do. Your soul will thank you for it!

Do you take some time each day to “stop and smell the roses” as they say? In this hurried world we live in, we rarely take the time to look at the beauty that surrounds us. This affects us and leads to more stress in our lives. Noticing the beauty around us has a calming effect on us, therefore it is a natural stress release. When we go through our days hurrying from one activity to the next, never stopping to have those calming moments, the stress just builds up until we want to pop. So it is necessary to add in these calming moments throughout your day in order to break up the stresses. It helps to neutralize them.

All this means is that as you are walking to your car, you take notice of the gentle breeze on your face and you hear the beautiful song coming from the birds up the trees. When you are working on your computer, you stop for a brief moment and you feel the warm sun shining in through the window. When you are doing yard work, you feel the earth energy and really experience the beauty in the flowers and trees. It’s about becoming mindful as you go through your day. Don’t just do each activity without noticing all the wonder that surrounds you.

When you begin to add this mindfulness into your life, you will naturally feel calmer, as I mentioned before. You will also begin to see the oneness of everything, and you will know that everything is interconnected. We come to this earth and we forget that we are connected to everything that exists. This is because everything, and I mean everything, is made up of energy. We are made of energy. The computer you are looking at is made of energy. The rocks on the ground are made of energy, as are the flowers, trees, the food you eat, the books you read, the oven, the table, the grass, the driveway, even your thoughts, your words, your feelings, and your actions all carry an energy. I could go on and on because literally everything is made up of energy. Therefore, we are all united by that fact.

The beauty of oneness is that you are not alone. When you can really grasp this point, you will notice things flowing more easily in your life because you will begin to allow the energy of the Universe to help you through life.

This is a small sampling of one of the components in my Get In The Flow program called “Get Awareness.” If you want to learn to say good-bye to stress and flow with life, this program will help you do just that.

Does life sometimes feel like a bumpy, wooden roller coaster? Does it feel like a struggle to maintain the daily demands of life?

Life certainly can feel that way, especially in this information age where we are bombarded with responsibilities and overbooked schedules. I see people everywhere who struggle through life. Their jobs drag them down and there is no time for enjoyment in their lives. I am not saying they are depressed and never have any fun, but I think many people are feeling a bit less than inspired and passionate about life these days.

I have made it my quest to change that in as many lives as I can touch. It hurts me to see people feeling stuck in lives that don’t fulfill them. There really is an easier way!
