Flexibility

Today, we are invited to reflect upon our reactions to obstacles that we encounter in our life. Sometimes a giant stone in the form of some kind of obstacle will appear in our path unexpectedly with no seeming way around. We have all experienced this at some point in time. Do you remember how you reacted?

Did you stubbornly hold your course trying to force your way through?

Did you give up?

Did you look for other ways around?

How did you feel? Defeated? Discouraged? Fearful? Determined? Resilient?

The way we react to obstacles and challenges that appear in our path reveals a great deal of information to us about what is going on within us. This may happen whether the challenge is large or small.

When we create a sense of safety, trust, and balance in our life, we embrace our partnership with Spirit. If this foundation is in place, it allows us to respond to obstacles, challenges, and perceived limitations with greater curiosity. It allows us to pause and take the time to look at the circumstances from different angles. Although we may feel frustrated, we recognize that there is purpose in the appearance of the obstacle in our lives. And, then we begin to look for more information and where there is flow. This allows us to pivot and embrace flexibility.

Life is constantly changing and being able to pivot allows us to take advantage of the best opportunities for us as they come into being. This requires us to trust and to pay attention. When we do so, we frequently realize that the obstacle was a blessing in disguise leading us to something better and often saving us from something that was not in our highest good.

Are you willing to let life move and guide you?

Are you willing to step outside of fear and respond from a different frequency when things change unexpectedly?

If you do not currently have any obstacles or challenges before you - yay! - and - think back to how you handled the last obstacle or challenge that arose.

You may also wish to ask your guides to reveal any obstacles that are currently in your life blocking your path that you may not see - sometimes it is difficult to see obstacles that only partially block our path.

What is revealed to you as you bring your awareness around the idea of flexibility in your life? What is your relationship with control? Are you willing to pivot? Are you in resistance? What is holding you back? If you look at things from another perspective, what do you find?

Cultivating this skill will serve us well in 2025 and the years to come.
