Go For It!

I recorded and posted “Go For It” on March 30, 2021. I wrote this, upon reflection the following day.

I wrote “Go For It” as a title yesterday, as those were the words that flowed through me as I spoke and recorded my observation of the event that happened on my bike. Today, upon reflection, I notice that I did not necessarily “Go for it.” Going for it, to me is more of a conscious choice and active choice. Yesterday I put myself in the space and allowed an opportunity for flow to arise, I chose to get on my bike. I chose to practice riding with no hands.  At first there was thought, “wait until after this bump,” “okay do it now,” “now is the time to lift your hands.”

I surprised myself. My hands lifted. It just happened. Meaning lifting my hands was not a conscious choice. I did not in my mind say, “Now, lift your hands from the handlebar. Lift your hands from the handlebar now.” No, that is not what happened. My hands lifted. I was pedaling. That was happening and then I was aware that they were not on the handlebars and I surprised myself. There was no thought. The action happened; the action arose from no thought. There was no thought. Thought was not there. I met myself, I met my action with thought only after it happened. My thoughts caught up with the action.

Create the space, the environment to drop in.

Flow will happen.

No hesitation, for hesitation arises with thought.

Trust your intuition, give it permission to flow.

With love,
