Meditation really helps you surrender, to go along with the flow and let go.
This is when the magic happens.
It is not easy. When your life for forty years has been a series of tasks, with no real time to think deeply, it is hard to adjust to a life where you have time for such things.
Your mind is always pushing and prodding you to fill your day with this, that and the other and keep busy.
Meditation helps tame the mind and allows you to just be. To go along with the flow of the day. To not be constantly ruled by a planned schedule of tasks.
The easiest thing to do is to succumb to the nudgings of the mind and fill your day with endless activities to complete at the same pace you would keep if you were at work.
However, you are not giving yourself the best possible chance to be yourself and listen to the inner voice within.
Calming the mind and learning to go along with the flow allows beautiful things to happen.
All the things I used to stress about (like husband or kids not doing what I wanted) automatically started happening without any asks or effort from me!
Luckily, as I had time, I was able to observe these small miracles start to happen!
