My Reward for Being in the Flow Instead of in Resistance

When it comes to shoveling snow, I am usually in resistance. Last night we were 'blessed' with 10-12 inches of snow - a lot for New York City (I am in Queens)!

I knew the snow was coming and had a little talk with myself last night. Did I want to go out and do battle with that big pile out there; or did I want to enjoy the process, admire the beauty and get good exercise?

I chose the latter: to let go of the resistance that holds me back by squandering too much energy to hold it. This morning again I consciously let go of my resistance to the task of shovelling the snow.

Surprise, surprise, there was a reward for me for going with the FLOW instead of being in Resistance!

I poked my head out my front door and at that moment a teenage boy walked by and asked if I had a shovel he could borrow for the day. His offer was to shovel whatever I needed to have done in return for borrowing my shovel.

Needless to say, I took him up on his offer. He shoveled my front steps and walk, my front sidewalk and half of my driveway! Even if he keeps the shovel, it was a good deal!

At every moment we have a choice: Resistance or Flow. Choose being in the Flow and I am sure you will be rewarded in some way!

In the Flow . . .

I like Audie's comment.
Great minds do think alike. I build one every year. One year I did a family one. Sitting in lawn chairs. Put sunglasses and hats on them. They made great personal christmas cards too.

Enjoy...

Thanks Audie! I just might do that. Creative thinker you are!

Hi Rijuta,

What a perfect time to have a talk with yourself and go with the flow.

Why let all that pretty white snow go to waste, if you still want some exercise... build a snowman!;)
