Thought for the Day - Free Flow and Ego

Free flow is removing ego from the equation. The ego is what obstructs free flow, queers the pitch so to say. It comes in as a wisp of a thought, and what was brilliant flow, queers up. 

Normally it shows up as a desire to control - a discomfort with what is - a desire to fight the present and bring in our narrative. If we are aware, we can flow with what is, which brings in great flow again. 

In sports (or in life, because what's sport if not a microcosm of life as someone said or might have said), the formula for peak performance is this - Peak performance = Potential - Interference. Our ego is the interference. It is what brings in fear, insecurity and because of that we try to control instead of letting it evolve.

Let go. Stop trying to control.
