Move and the way will open

It's easy to get caught in your daily patterns. The brain just loves patterns. In fact, it actually feels good to the brain to flow through days in the same way. We tend to get things done without forgetting what we are doing or where we put the keys. However, there are times when things become unclear and we are desperate to find answers to a challenge we need to solve. When this happens, one of the most powerful things you can do is see everything as flowing, moving, evolving, changing and shifting. There is a Zen proverb that focuses specifically on this - Move and the way will open.

See yourself flowing with the world. Move with the change of the seasons. Move like the ocean tides. We are nature and not separate from it. We change, age and grow. New directions and solutions are everywhere. We just need to be open to allow for the solutions to surface. Bring in a dose of fresh air to your routine. It can be as simple as taking a walk without a destination. Taking a weekend drive without planning the route. Taking a class and learning something new.

When we are open to change, movement and flow...the answers will find us. Changing habits can even allow you to begin seeing many other possible ways of living your life. We get unstuck. We move along. We shake it out. It's simple and it works.
