Maintaining the space in your life for spontaneity is, ironically, hard work. The positive spontaneity that we often long for in our lives is something quite different from the act of changing our minds or not following our disciplines or not taking a needed step towards achieving our goals and doing something else instead. We often dress up something that is more typically an act that gives in to avoidance or resistance or our addictions or fears as spontaneous rather than the shortfall of courage and commitment that it really is.
Spontaneity is, in reality, an intensely conscious process. Spontaneity involves actively clearing space in our lives where spontaneity, or the abundance of energy in the universe, can be allowed in to work with us towards something new, creative and expressive. This space that we talk about is what is created when we are very clear about where we want to go and how we would like to feel getting there, without being too prescriptive about HOW we are going to get there. This implies that spontaneity is supported by setting clear intensions and letting go of our control and attachment to how things should happen. Spontaneity then, is trusting in ourselves enough to not have to be rigid about the how. Spontaneity is the act of not limiting what might happen by our current perception. It is a conscious letting go of blocks. It is an act of surrender that allows co-creation with the universe in the interest of achieving our truest desires.
Today I will contemplate how I have understood spontaneity until now. Could my definition use a little attention?
Today I will consider how taking the time to know what I want will help me to achieve the joys of a spontaneous life.
