You might’ve heard of the term called the path of least resistance before. Essentially what it means is the path of ease and flow where things seem to always happen for you in the right time and the right place.
The train arrives at the exact time that you walk up, you always get the green lights while driving, the right people and connections find you to get you to where you want to go without you having to go looking for them. This is the definition of ease. When you align to the path of least resistance, life has a sense of ease to it because you never have to go searching and looking for what you need — it always seems to find you in the perfect time.
Many people hear this and think that ease means easy. Part of being on the path of least resistance also means that there are opportunities for you to grow and level up as a person so that you can continue on the path of least resistance. It’s our own limiting perceptions that create a sense of struggle, and so when we can become aware of them and shift them, we align to even more ease. The process of growth is far from easy, though. Growth itself can happen with ease but leveling up into a new version of ourselves always comes with a feeling of discomfort, because growth stretches us in ways we haven’t been stretched before. As the difficult emotions come up to be felt and processed, growing into a new version of ourselves can feel challenging. Growth also comes with taking new actions, and stretching ourselves beyond our comfort zone is the definition of uncomfortable.
When we continuously grow and up level as a person, we continuously align ourselves to more and more ease in our lives because the ways we were once blocking ourselves from experiencing that ease are now gone. This is how we continuously up level to experience more joy, more freedom, and more expansion in our lives.
So how can we align ourselves to the path of least resistance in the first place? By doing what we feel inspired to do in each moment. This means dropping the conditioned sense of obligation many of us have where we think we have to get everything done on our to do list, and we force ourselves to do things that we’re not in the mood to do. By aligning your actions to your mood and energy level, you align yourself to the path of ease and flow. Like attracts like, so when you feel ease and flow, you create more ease and flow in your life. That’s when things start to align for you, and you don’t have to go looking for opportunities to get you to where you want to go — they just find you. Life starts happening for you not to you, and you move towards your vision and goals faster and with ease.
Remember, experiences that bring up triggers are not setbacks. They are opportunities for you to look within yourself and grow through the experience so that you can align to even more ease and flow.
