Relaxing the Push—Flowing with Everyone’s Perfect Timing
There can be a fuzzy line between allowing things to move vs trying to make it happen. That inner insistence for things to happen the way we think makes sense can often stop the progression or send us down a path that later turns out to have been off course.
We all have those days when we relax into what is taking place, stay present and listen for what is next. We allow the natural flow to unfold as it does and trust the perfection of what is. By removing our insistence that it be different we can open the way for solutions and new directions to take place.
I just finished the final session with a client who paid for the program in December of last year but was unable to schedule the first session until October of this year. Talk about patience and trusting on my part. I do trust in perfect timing, and I was also aware of that little inner push wanting to complete our agreement to work together as I was under contract. I fortunately chose to let go and wait on the client’s timing.
When they called ten months later to book and we began the first session, it was clear that any sooner would not have worked for this client, and it could have negatively impacted their experience. The entire process was a great learning for me to let go and allow the perfect timing to emerge.
Currently I am scheduling a painter for paint touch-ups in my home. After five no-shows, I was about to cancel when I heard that still small voice inside say, he is the one, stay with him. It made no sense to me as I had wanted this work done a month ago. I fortunately maintained my patience and humor with him. It turned out that the no-shows had to do with a family situation. He finally let me know he could not do the work and referred me to someone who is available to do the work this week. He may have been the one for me just not this time.
We never know the reasoning on the part of others involved, and allowing what is to take place with our patience, understanding, and trust can be a blessing for all.
Grateful is my heart for allowing it all to happen in the timing that was perfect for all involved, not just me.
Martha Invitations
1. Relax into the flow of perfect timing even if it feels counterintuitive.
2. Listen past any resistance to what is in alignment for you to do in the moment.
3. Trust the perfection of what appears when it appears, and flow with it.
