FLOW: How to apply it to your life!
Everthing in nature has a certain flow to it. Every activity happens according to its own pace: sprouting of a seed, flowing of a river, growing up of an oak tree, a caterpillar transforming into a beautiful butterfly. 

These things happen slowly with time and you cant force these things to happen faster. You cant open a cocoon forcefully and expect the butterfly to come out. It needs to evolve steadily to transform into a full fledged butterfly.

The same natural flow exists in us humans too. It is just that we keep ourselves too distracted and we fail to notice it. 

This is one thing I have noticed during the lockdown.

When we have certain set of tasks to do, what we mostly end up doing is procrastinate by keeping ourselves fed with dopamine using some or the other forms of entertainment.

That's why we fail to notice it. 

Our body/mind has a natural response to this postponing action of ours. I noticed that whenever I do this, my energy kinda becomes agitated indicating that I'm going out of the natural flow. 

It doesn't matter if you do your tasks in a fast manner or you do it slowly; as long as you do it one by one you remain in the flow. 

When I skip doing one task and go for the other, that skipped task remains in the back of my mind for days until I forget about it. This energy is something I believe we have named as guilt. 

When we are in the flow, answers seem to come naturally to us. When we are not, it becomes very difficult to figure out what's right for us and what's not.

Right before I sit to write an article for Hive, I face a lot of resistance. But once I start typing, things just go in the flow. I don't even know where the content comes from. I just go into that creator mode and try to bring in some value.

Its just the initial resistance that we have to overcome and we are halfway there. Nothing is difficult, it's just the thoughts we have before doing something that scares us and makes it seem so.

One thing that has been on the back of my mind from the past three years is my ride and travel videos. I have tonnes of raw material waiting to be worked on and be given to the world. But the resistance to do so has been too strong... or perhaps it's just my thought that been putting all the obstacles on my way. 

One more topic I want to tread on is the topic of money. In other terms currency. The term is derived from two words current and sea. So, basically what this tells us is it is meant to be kept moving like the currents in the sea. 

Stocking it or hoarding it is again like blocking the flow of nature. The more you try to hoard, the more you loose it. The more you keep it in flow, the more it comes back to you. This has been my experience with it so far. 

When I learned about this I have been trying as much as possible not to block the flow of it. That doesn't mean that I have been spending endlessly on unnecessary stuff but I never back out when I need to buy something I want. I try to go for the best of whatever it is out there even if it means spending a little more for the quality. 

I believe quality stuff has a longer lifespan and in the longterm gives you more bang for the buck. Also, even if it doesn't you atleast get to enjoy a quality object for a while. Money will keep coming and going anyways.

Talking about flow and current sea, here is a picture of the Arabian sea I captured yesterday from the shores of one of the lesser known beaches in my city.

It was refreshing to get out of my house after almost two and a half months. I missed the beaches badly. When you are from a coastal area, you find it very hard to go without beaches for a long time. It's like the beach holds the power to recharge you. 

So, how do we remain in flow? By taking the first step to do anything. The rest will go with the flow.

Before I end this post, I would like to share a beautiful progressive music mix track that I'm listenting to as I write this article.
