How to Practice Spiritual Surrender in 3 Steps
Practicing spiritual surrender takes a big old weight off of your shoulders. You take wiser, simpler, more creative action. You develop an intimacy with God.
(Whatever you call the divine source. I call it God, because that’s what works for me. You can call that force whatever you like. Translate to whatever suits you.)
What is spiritual surrender? It’s letting go of your own effortful attempts at control over your life and catching the current of Love. Control is an illusion, Wu-Wei is kinda great, and the still small voice is, like, super smart.
You feel awe and gratitude and an increase of faith.
The point is: when you act out of love, you’ll be acting in alignment with the universe, not against it. So much nicer.
Positive psychologists noticed that states of indecision are, pretty much, agony.
They also noticed that we adapt to our choices quickly and decide to prefer them to other options. Getting out of the quagmire of indecision is a fast-track path toward greater contentment — because that state of agonized quagmire dissolves as soon as you make a freaking choice.
