Going with the flow


It was a feeling I couldn’t quite identify.  Unnoticeable at first, its presence gradually become undeniable.   I asked myself if the unease was because my time was invested in one too many activities.  If this was the case I should identify which one; the decision to let it go from my schedule might be relatively straightforward.  I mentally rummaged through the items on my agenda.   No.  I couldn’t blame  these. They each had meaning and brought me something valuable. 

Eventually I looked at the me on the inside, and realised I had got caught up with a certain way of thinking.  Out of harmony with myself,  I was going with the flow that belonged to someone else.  I was caught up in their intent for themselves.  Being with those whose focus was different to mine had influenced me to think like them, thus I had become a pastiche of other people’s thought processes.   So what could and should I do about it?  I reminded myself why I had started this journey, why I had gleaned empowering knowledge from various sources.  I decided to go with my own flow, not other’s and be me.
