Do you ever feel in the flow? Like you’re on track, everything’s going your way, everything is coming your way, you’ve got drive, you’ve got momentum, things are materializing right as you need them, and then
BAM! You hit a wall that you didn’t even know was there. It might be the death of a loved one, an illness whether yours or a family member’s, a tornado, or something else that was entirely unexpected.
What the hell.
If you’re like me, you look up to the sky and say Really? Actually, if you’re like me, you look up and use salty language.
Sometimes things happen that are outside our ability to plan or control.
Why? It seemed like we were in alignment with the Divine and yet we crashed into that wall.
From time to time, we need to pause. Reflect. Reconnect. To remember that we are a small part of something much larger. Every once in a while, we need to be reminded of our mortality.
Sometimes these forced pauses occur to remind us that we’re human beings not human doings.
Perhaps it’s going to take some time for everything needed in your Big Plan to coalesce. Someone you need for an integral piece is dragging her feet.
When we find ourselves flat against the wall instead of chugging along, we need to resist the urge to push through that obstacle. We need to press pause.
We also need to remember that what is ours will never go past us. If it’s meant to be, it will be. And it will be in Divine timing rather than our timing.
When this happens, we can use the time productively by meditating or reviving a gratitude practice or reading an uplifting book. We can get out into nature, or do some yoga, or chant.
When the Universe gives us a temporary pause, nourishing our soul until we get the all-clear signal is in our best interest.
