Welcome to Love Notes from Rhonda.

Speaker A

I am so excited today to talk to you because today we're going to talk about you and the flow that is moving through you.

Speaker A

See, everybody wants to live in the flow, right?

Speaker A

The flow, the effortlessness, the ease, the grace that's associated with flow, the intense focus, creativity with the flow.

Speaker A

Oh, I love the flow.

Speaker A

I love being in the flow.

Speaker A

And yet, are you awake and aware that the flow is already moving through you?

Speaker A

That there is a flow moving through you right here and right now, whether you're aware of it or not?

Speaker A

See, the flow comes from you, not to you.

Speaker A

It comes from you.

Speaker A

How do you access the flow?

Speaker A

By removing everything that isn't the flow.

Speaker A

Now, I know that may be like.

Speaker A

What do you mean, Rhonda?

Speaker A

Well, let me share.

Speaker A

When you quit judging, stop judging whether you're in the flow or not.

Speaker A

When you stop deciding, oh, I don't like the state I'm in.

Speaker A

This isn't the flow.

Speaker A

When you stop resisting where you are, wherever you are, any day, anytime, and start being attentive to what's moving through you, you're gonna start noticing the flow.

Speaker A

You're gonna start noticing the flow.

Speaker A

You're gonna start experiencing more flow.

Speaker A

It is our wanting to be somewhere that we're not that stops the flow from being experienced.

Speaker A

It's wanting to be somewhere that we're not.

Speaker A

It's wanting to change where we are in the moment.

Speaker A

I'm all for you changing and having a dream and a goal and wanting to change your circumstances and shift your environment.

Speaker A

All those things.

Speaker A

Yes, yes, yes.

Speaker A

Y.

Speaker A

But I'm talking about the minute by minute flow of life.

Speaker A

So, for instance, do you feel like you have to be in the mood before you do any creativity, before you work on something precious?

Speaker A

Do you have to be in the mood?

Speaker A

If you have to be in the mood, you're waiting for magic and miracles to happen in order to get you somehow, the stars aligning, that somehow you're gonna feel in the right way in the right moment, and everything flows through you right in the way that you expect.

Speaker A

But how the flow really happens is no matter where you are, no matter what you're feeling, no matter what your thoughts are, you sit down and you get to work.

Speaker A

And whether that work is meditating, whether that work is focusing on a project, whether that work is playing with your child, being present with whatever is happening is your doorway to the flow.

Speaker A

The flow is where you feel that ease and that grace.

Speaker A

So can you see how when you're Resisting where you are when you're wanting to be somewhere else, when you don't like what's happening in the moment that you're attached to something else.

Speaker A

Why is this happening to me?

Speaker A

Why is this happening to me?

Speaker A

Can you see how there's no ease in grace?

Speaker A

Can you see how the flow will be stuffed down, denied, ignored?

Speaker A

You have more power than you know.

Speaker A

You are so powerful.

Speaker A

You are so powerful.

Speaker A

Learning to be awake and aware and to live in the present moment gives you more choices.

Speaker A

Gives you more choices and gives you more ease and grace and flow.

Speaker A

So decisions and choices become easier.

Speaker A

You're going to know whether it feels right to you.

Speaker A

Not from a place of intellectual understanding, but from a true sense of is this mine to do or is this not mine to do?

Speaker A

So just today I want you just to focus on how present can you be.

Speaker A

How do you get present?

Speaker A

A great way to do that is through our senses.

Speaker A

Smelling a flower will make you present.

Speaker A

Staring at a candle will get you present.

Speaker A

Sitting on a stool or a chair or the couch, or lying on the bed and feeling your body on that bed or chair, et cetera, rubbing your feet against the floor will get you present.

Speaker A

Use your senses.

Speaker A

They will help get you in the moment.

Speaker A

That is where the flow lives.

Speaker A

That is where the flow lives.

Speaker A

And it all lives within you already.

Speaker A

Until next time, be fearless.

Speaker A

I love you.
