Situations in life can be overwhelming sometimes, especially when everything needs your attention at the same time. I often find myself in this scenario when I am juggling between home, children and work. Then I realized that I am trapped in the trivialities of daily life where I am trying to micromanage everyone and everything in the house. It feels heavy and burdened, and that has been draining my energy out. This morning I had a conversation with Clyde and he said ‘ Surrender’, “I have been doing that, I have stopped trying to control the out come and rather just flow and things have been just falling into place.” So why is it so difficult to surrender, to let go of control? How did I fall into this trap? I had this moment of realization that brought some clarity into why I feel sapped of energy. It is very natural to feel that way when you are constantly trying to control things in day-to-day life - like things have to be done this way and not that way, why is he not doing it, and so on. With this need to control comes rigidity - whether it’s in thinking, or making decisions. The movement of thoughts is not as fluid as it should be. You reach a roadblock. When you find your way around the roadblock, and choose to let go, thoughts begin to flow freely. So it was a big wake up call for me. There is also a strong need to do regular deweeding of the inner garden so there is space for flowers to bloom and fruits to ripen.
