There is a difference between giving up and surrendering to the flow of your life.

To be in flow,

You have to simplify.

To slow down and say,

What do I need?

For it is in these moments of stillness that you will always receive the clarity you seek.

Welcome to Coached by Nikki Dyer.

Feel your eyes gently close and feel the vast space of darkness around you.

Letting your breath fill your belly as you inhale and fall into every exhale.

Letting your muscles become heavy as you breathe into each one.

Start to feel the cycles of breath become natural as they slowly blend together.

Take a deep breath in as you hold it and pause for just a moment.

And exhale out with an audible sigh.

There is a difference between giving up and surrendering to the flow of your life.

To give up means to stop trying.

To go back to old habits and patterns that were ineffective or harmful.

To revert into old ways of being.

To convince yourself that you are no longer fit to be the person you are today.

Surrendering means to stop resisting to the flow of your life.

To feel whatever comes up fully and face whatever it is you may rather avoid.

To stop trying to control every little thing or person or circumstance.

To surrender to the things you cannot control.

To flow with the currents of your life.

And begin to relish in the freedom and peace that comes from it.

Take a deep breath in.

And exhale.

And take one hand and place it on your heart.

And I want you to ask yourself,

What do I need?

It's okay for this season of your life to feel hard.

To feel as if you are standing still against a forceful current as it pulls and pushes.

But I invite you to move.

To resist nothing.

To let the current start to carry you.

Take another long deep breath in.

And release your breath and the need to control.

Life is about trusting that every wave,

Every high and low tide and every surge of current,

It's leading you to exactly where you need to be.

Allow yourself to be carried by the current of life.

To go with the flow.

Take another deep breath in.

And when you are ready,

Open your eyes.
