Motivational Thoughts - The Ebb and Flow of Life
Did you ever notice that there is any ‘ebb and flow’ of life?
Sometimes everything seems to be moving smoothly and
sometimes life throws you a ‘curve ball’. The interesting thing about the ebb
and flow of life is that life never stays the same. Your life is not always
going to go smoothly nor will your life remain a disaster. The only constant is
time.
For me, I find the concept of life ebbing and flowing very
soothing. I know that when I am facing a struggle or difficult time, that time
won’t last forever. I keep thinking positive, and moving forward, and everything
works out. Likewise, when my life is sailing forward smoothly, I know that that
flow won’t last forever, and so I make time to really enjoy the event or
activity.
A couple of months ago, I was laid off from my job. It was
definitely an ‘ebb’ time of my life. However, I found a perfect job, a teaching
position at a wonderful school, a place where I can utilize my experience and talents.
I am back in the ‘flow’ of life.
Here is a technique that might work for you the next time you
are in the ‘ebb’ phase of life. Trying focusing on a time when your life was
flowing. Close your eyes and visualize those positive memories. A technique
like this will help you relax and think clearly. It will help you move through
the ‘ebb’ and back into the ‘flow’.
