I love the idea of "steering with the flow." I recently had this experience with writing. I started writing something based on a prompt (which sometimes feels better than staring at a blank screen thinking of what to write), but as soon as I felt that the topic was becoming something else, I pivoted and continued writing about the new topic. There still was the ease of going with the flow, and at the same time, I was able to consciously redirect where the flow was taking me!
Thanks for sharing this, Jacqueline! I think sometimes we forget resistance is as much part of determining where the flow is going as the flow itself, it's like the other side of the same coin. The phrase 'ebb and flow' comes to mind here. The ebbs tell us it's time to change course.
