Today let’s talk about some of the keys to finding your way back to your flow state when you’ve been overwhelmed, overtired, unclear or reactive.

It’s not that the goal is to live in a perfect flow state 100% of the time. It’s about finding a baseline that you can find safety, certainty and growth in consistently enough that you’re in a state of healing, inspiration, purpose and you feel yourself making progress and thriving more than surviving. 

When you’re off: what does that look like for you? 

• You may find yourself scared, snappy, quick to blame others.
• You may feel a sense of lack in one or more areas of your life, helplessness, hopelessness, just that overall sense that things aren’t working out for you or are taking too long
• You may find yourself comparing yourself to others more than witnessing and celebrating them and yourself alongside others. 
• You may consistently feel undernourished mentally, physically, soulfully, emotionally and energetically. 
• You may be seriously lacking quality sleep and a time out.
• You may feel overstimulated by noises, people and other people’s opinions. 

Here’s the thing, when you’re thriving in your flow it’s not that you never experience all of the above, it’s that it’s not your consistent way of being. 

And, when you do fall into an old pattern you quickly catch yourself and have the tools to get right back on track. 

Some helpful tools at your fingertips: 

• Meditation
• Deep breaths
• A walk in nature
• Reading a book
• Time with a loved one
• Trying a new hobby or activity
• Any coaching/healing modality
• Focusing on something you love 
• Brainstorming about something you’d love to create
• A workout that fuels you or has deep muscle exertion
• A soft luxurious stretch that tunes you right back into yourself 

What does it take?  

1. A willingness to get to know yourself so deeply you can access the root of your charges and points of tension in your body. 

2. The more you can witness and love all the parts of yourself, the easier it gets to expand and be in your flow. 

3. Learning and Practicing how to Recalibrate when you’re “off”. You can use any of the tools above and there are plenty more that maybe you love. 

4. Communicating when you’ve been in distress. We all react at times, are too quick to judgment or get needy when we feel lack. 

A heartfelt noticing of what happened, an acknowledgment of where you were reactive and how you’d love for things to be instead can go a long way. 

Here’s to you loving yourself and others as gracefully as possible and accepting this journey we’re all on without the expectation of being able to be perfect. 

You can always choose a new way of showing up for yourself and others. You can always choose a deep breath, a step back and even more trust in your path. 

Everything will work out…it always does regardless of what you’re going through. 

With love,
