Some ideas on how you can live your life with ease and create a state of flow.

Have you ever been so immersed in a task that before you realise that time has passed you by, you simply felt at ease allowing the world to carry on around you? It is a state that we should all strive to achieve, it brings happiness and helps us to live in a joyous place.

If you want to achieve more, by doing less, increase productivity and releasing stress then this is the place to be. It does not mean becoming sedentary or floating around. It does mean, feeling connected to the universe, or our higher self. By achieving this state, it allows our mind to settle, slowing down to a pace that we can hear and act on our intuitive vibes.


I remember many years ago I was completely stressed out and thought I had the world on my shoulders, continuously looking at the darker side of life. Ultimately, I couldn’t cope with the amount of pressure I put on myself. I don’t know how I ever really thought I would get everything done, not to mention my head running one hundred miles an hour on negative vibes. It didn’t serve me in any way, only made me feel low and disconnected.


It took me a long time to understand that by taking a step back, releasing the pushing energy, and also the belief that I "needed to do more" physically, emotionally and mentally than I was capable of, I became much calmer and better able to cope.


I now do my very best to live each day, each moment. Living in the present keeps my head firmly out of the past and enables me to focus on what is important in the ‘here and now’, because ultimately that is all that matters. I feel more harmony in my life, meeting the right people at the right time, and feeling the support from the universe gently guiding me on the journey that is appropriate for me. Now that’s bliss, who wouldn’t want that?


Living in a state of flow helps you:

  • Discover your creative side

  • Take your thoughts away from others and the world around you

  • Experience happiness and contentment

  • Feel in control, instead of life-controlling you!

  • Focus, increasing productivity

  • Feel calm and at peace

  • Appreciate what you already have

  • Live a healthier life

How can you live in a state of flow?

Do what you love to do

Very often we forget or don’t have the time to do the things that we really enjoy, I call this playtime.

For me it's doing Kintsugi, playing with my dog and daughter or just being with nature.

I love my creativity to flow, it helps me to feel aligned with who I am at a soul level.

What do you enjoy doing? Start to allocate some time to achieve your 'playtime'. Just because you’re not a child doesn’t mean you should neglect yourself. You still have needs and wants, and it’s a superb way of living in the present moment.


How do you feel at work & home?

This may be the place you spend a lot of your time, so it's vitally important you enjoy it, if not, why not? What can you change about it to help you to feel more comfortable and at ease with the surroundings, i.e. if you are an office worker what can you do to make it more pleasurable, maybe it's your desk or the room? The same applies to your home environment, take notice of what you want to change, it doesn’t have to be costly, just some simple changes can help tremendously.

One of my favourite things with my kitchen is to have living herbs and flowers. It makes my kitchen come alive, simple yet effective!
Get real with To-Do lists

You can only do so much in one day. Be more realistic with your tasks. Let’s look at this realistically, if you have 20 tasks to do on your to-do list and you only achieve 5, you’ll end your day feeling that you haven’t achieved what you set out to do which will leave you feeling unsatisfied. Now let’s say you take out the top 3 urgent tasks that must be completed and you accomplish them, Hurray! You feel amazing. The next day pick out the next top 3 again, you’ve got this.


Enjoy the process

Above everything life is for enjoyment, we all experience hard times and heartache, finding the world a difficult place to live.

Always remember - it’s not what we get thrown at us, it’s how we deal with it.

You have a choice, you can make your life challenging or adopt an attitude to take things in stride, enjoying a state of flow. You will still feel all the emotions, that's part of being a human. However, in a state of flow, you’ll be able to manage yourself better. And wouldn't you prefer this new found state of harmony? Think about it.


Love & Light,

Rima
