Here is a concept: Life is not experienced as 100% anything.
We are made of fluid and we experience life as the ever changing and wave-like or shifting cloud creatures we are.
Things can be 40% good and 60% painful…equalling 100%
Also, things can be 70% good and 40% painful.
Yes, that does add up to more than 100% and yes, life can feel like 110%.
If we can see this as possible – that experience is fluid and always shifting, larger than the more often agreed upon 100% – then we can feel less overwhelmed when our bodies and minds are in the midst of the 110%, or 150% or 1000%…
We can see how the 70%, if our thoughts have tagged it as good, can still feel like too much because we are experiencing 40% not so great and feel inundated by all the things and really just want to stay in the zone of 100%, not beyond.
Fluidity.
How safe is it for you to feel the fluid nature of this life?
Very possibly, without being mindful about it, recognizing everchanging movement like this feels as if something is going wrong.
How could you step into the flowing river of your life today and experience the total as more than what you once believed was the whole?
Remember: You can step right the hell back out, whenever you want.
Waves move in and out.
Your heart contracts and expands.
The lungs receive and release.
Clouds shift and swirl.
See if you can allow for something to be beyond the 100% knowing you can come back into whatever space you need for rest and reassurance of your system.
Your body is fluid and fluid gets to move AND settle, as needed, moment to moment
