There are two ways to look at the idea of routines.
On the one hand, we can make a lot of progress on something: a yoga practice, learning a skill, our spiritual work, if we commit to a consistent practice over time. On the other hand, anything that we do that is too regimented, too strict, or too narrow, doesn’t allow us the space we need to hear the Universe talking to us, nudging us, moving us forward. If you’ve had a routine, a practice, or a regimen for a long time, it’s good to think about letting it go for a while. Even if it’s some- thing “good” such as meditation, or journaling, or yoga, or fitness. What happens if you don’t fill your time and space with that ac- tivity? What happens when you feel untethered, ungrounded, not sure of who you are, when you let that practice go? What normally happens is that there is a little panic, a little discomfort, and then suddenly a great big breath of “ahhhhh” when you realize that you are okay without your practice. That your practice, even though it grounded and helped and comforted you, did not make you okay. You were and are okay, even without it. And this realization opens up the possibility for something new. It opens up the possibility for the Universe to whisper to you of your next step, and for you to hear it. Try stopping your practice for a few days. See what happens. Much love, SARA P.S. Did you know I have NEW books just out? Check them out here. When our goal is to live in Flow, it is very hard to stay on the straight and narrow path.
We tend to change direction a lot, not being able to hold to a system, because the information that arrives to us from the Universe whispers so insistently: do it this way. Now, do it this way. It reminds me of sailing a little Sunfish, one of those tiny, little sailboats that one person can sail by his or herself. A gust of wind will come up, and we’ll sense that energy, and let our sail out to catch it. Then suddenly another kind of wind will come up, and we’ll tighten our sail against that one. We are always adjusting to the currents and the direction and the strength of the wind. This is what we do in Flow: we are the sail, and the Universe is the wind, and we are always listening and feeling and adjusting to what to do and how to respond next. Don’t worry too much if you have trouble following a “system” or a “program.” If you’re intuitive, creative, emotional, it’s going to be hard to put yourself into a system. Keep following Flow. You’ll get to the same place. And you will enjoy the journey so very much more. Much love, SARA P.S. Did you know you can get Daily Divine in paperback? Order yours here. Have you ever wanted something so much, that it was the most important thing to you? And then, you didn’t get it?
Many years ago, I applied to a graduate writer’s program that only took a handful of people. It was at a university, and there was a grueling interview and application process. When I got there, and met with the interviewer, I knew I wasn’t going to get in: I wasn’t academic enough, I wasn’t literary enough. And still, when the rejection letter came, I was crushed. My entire future possibility as a writer seemed to swirl down the drain. As it turned out, of course, not getting into this writer’s pro- gram was the best thing that ever happened to me. It forced me to discover what I really wanted to write. Not what a writer’s program deemed as appropriate or “good.” But what I was here to create. For example, was I only a writer if I had an academic writing path I could follow blindly? Or would I still be a writer, with no landmarks, no support, doing it anyway? Flash forward many years: and I have written quite a few books. If I’d gotten into that program, I doubt I’d have written anything, ever. I wouldn’t have needed to push myself in the same way. I wouldn’t have taken the risk to expose myself in that way. In not getting into the writing program, the Universe didn’t give me what I thought I wanted. Instead, the Universe gave me what I needed, so that I could take the next step in my soul growth. Next time you think the gates have been slammed shut, look again. Much love, SARA P.S.
