The Power of Surrender: How to Relax Into Acceptance

What happens when you surrender spiritually?

You stop forcing solutions or situations you simply cannot control.

You recognize you don’t have to manage every little thing in your life.

You accept not every aspect of your life has to be planned out.

Surrender has the power to change you.

When you surrender and give up the control you think you have over each of your circumstances, beautiful things occur. 

Imagine you are standing in a strong river current, and you desperately want to swim upstream against the flow. 

You fight against the current with all your strength, pushing and pulling to force yourself in the opposite direction. You become fixated on controlling the river, trying to make it flow according to your desires.

Can you imagine how exhausting and frustrating this would be?

When you accept things exactly as they are, you’re allowing yourself to flow with the river. You let go of the struggle and resistance, allowing the current to carry you naturally. 

While you may not have complete control over the river, you can navigate and adapt to its course, making the journey smoother and more enjoyable.

In life, just as in the river, there will be challenges and obstacles. 

Trying to force and control everything can lead to stress, anxiety, and disappointment when things don’t go as planned. 

Acceptance, on the other hand, allows you to find peace, resilience, and the ability to adapt to the currents of life. 

It doesn’t mean being passive or giving up on your goals, but rather recognizing some things are beyond your control and there is wisdom in embracing the natural flow of life.

I ask you today, will you be mindful in going with the flow of the river?

Giving up control can bring worry and fear. But I assure you, surrendering can provide you the peace you’re longing for.

Be well and shine bright!
