Flowing With Life.
As I've mentioned before, I work in the Ad industry, so I'm pretty familiar with stress and coping with the most unnecessary crap in this world. So, today I wanted to share some things that help me "flow" with my circumstances, when sh*t hits the fan, hoping that they help you as well.
C — Choose to stay open: Everything teaches us something, so stay open to learning something new.
H — Have awareness of what's going on: Pay attention to how things are unfolding every moment so you can learn the lesson your situation is trying to teach you.
A — Adapt: This one is crucial. The species that doesn't adapt, doesn't survive, so make sure you move along with life’s flow by adapting and embracing change.
N — Notice: Learn how it feels to stay close to your experience. Would you like to go through it again? How can you avoid it?
G — Generate wisdom: No one knows what's gonna happen tomorrow, so remain curious about the ever-changing adventure that life is.
E — Enjoy life’s fresh offerings. Even if they feel awful at the time, most of these situations are blessings in disguise.
If all else fails, just call your closest friend and go get some wine while you wait for the storm to pass by. You'll always be alright.
Mindfully,
Sam.
