Flow doesn’t arrive fully formed.

It shows up after we begin.

For me, it comes through writing.

I start without knowing where I’m going.

That’s when the words begin to move on their own.m and I clear out what blocks me from my creative rhythm.

I see the same thing with someone I coach, though her doorway is different.

She finds flow through meditation.

The effort softens.

The practice opens.

She isn’t trying to get anywhere else. That’s her rhythm.

Flow isn’t one thing.

It’s personal.

Some of us write. Some of us sit in stillness. Some draw, walk, cook, or listen.

Flow comes when we stop forcing and start staying.

Once you find how you enter it, returning becomes easier.

I’m dying to know what you have found works for you that gets you into your creative rhythm? Leave in the comments below!
