When we are in flow

Posted on by philipdodson

When we get into our state of flow we are totally present in the moment, we are experiencing huge joy from the act of doing and we are not concerned with the outcome.

Flow is a state of pure consciousness where we are using the mind, which is the most amazing creative tool, to manifest what our soul desires. We are not energising our thought patterns, which normally take our consciousness away into an unconscious mind state where we are consumed by the outcomes and fears that they generate instead of the act of doing.

Being in flow is where we are engaged in deep work that comes from our very essence, it flows from our soul, it is joyful, creative, enriching and is giving our gift to the world.

When we are in our minds we are doing shallow, disjointed things that serve little purpose to us or the world and are part of the malaise of busyness that dominates.

We perceive that we are busy and yet it is soulless and without joy. We are denying ourselves, our souls, the opportunity to live the life we want.

When we go deep and become fully in this moment, then we are able to do the most amazing things and really connect with what matters. Deep work is something we are all capable of doing we just need to practice, like anything, and we just need to allow ourselves to go into that flow of energy and go with it, not be fearful of the outcome, just focused on the pure joy of creating something now.

Bringing fire into our lives

Posted on by philipdodson

When I m coaching and starting out on a journey with someone, I always get them to look first at what they love to do and what brings them joy. It should be the bedrock of our lives, our roots that ground us and allow us to dance in the wind and be flexible yet resilient.

The world knows when there is a fire within us or not. The world knows when our eyes are tired and when we are lacking a fizz, when the fire has gone out. 

Our soul is always a burning fire, however, over time it gets smothered by our minds, thoughts, and fears. We allow ourselves to become them instead of allowing our true essence to shine.

In order to relight the fire and show our true selves to the world and spread our light, we have to go back to our hearts and start to do the things that bring us joy.

I get them to take a large piece of paper and write down all the things that they love and bring them joy. This is where we get our why power from. When the fire is going out we struggle on by using our willpower, which the mind believes is all we need to be strong and tough. However, the batteries in the willpower run out and they run out very quickly when we are not connected with our hearts and our why power.

Why we do what we do is the hardest thing to answer if we are not connected to what we love and if we are not doing what we love, the fire will not be there and the world will see it,

The world is a reflection of us as we continually create what we put out, we manifest our reality. If there is a fire in our eyes and our soul is shining bright, we will attract what we give out. If there is no passion in our hearts and the fire is hidden then we will struggle to attract what we want.

Life is a short journey, let us live it from our hearts and give our fire and light to the world.
