Paraphrased from Melody Beatties's "The Language of Letting Go"
Go with the flow.
Let go of fear and my need to control. Relinquish anxiety. Let it slip away, as I dive into the river of the present moment, the river of my life, my place in the universe.
Stop trying to force the direction. Try not to swim against the current, unless it is necessary for my survival. If I've been clinging to a branch at the riverside, let go.
Let myself move forward. Let myself be moved forward.
Avoid the rapids when possible. If I can't, stay relaxed. Staying relaxed can take me safely through fierce currents. If I go under for a moment , I allow myself to surface naturally. I will.
Appreciate the beauty of the scenery, as it is. See things with freshness, with newness. I shall never pass by today's scenery again!
Don't think too hard about things. The flow is meant to be experienced. Within it, care for myself. I am part of the flow, an important part. Move with the flow. Work within the flow. Thrashing about isn't necessary. Let the flow help me care for myself. Let it help me set boundaries, make decisions, and get me where I need to be when it is time.
I can trust the flow, and my part in it.
I go with the flow.
