Surrender: Trust Your Intuition and Create Aligned Action
Surrender is often misunderstood. It can feel like giving up control, leaving us vulnerable or powerless. But what if surrender isn’t about letting go of power but shifting how we relate to it?
In a recent session with a client, we dove deep into the idea of surrender. It brought up questions about what it truly means to let go and trust life, and I reflected on my own journey with surrender.
For many, surrender sparks discomfort because it feels like giving in or giving up. It may seem like you’re placing your trust in something intangible. But, from my experience, surrender is less about giving up and more about creating space for intuition to lead. When I set an intention that feels aligned with my inner truth, I can let go of the need to control how it unfolds. Instead, I focus on my job which is taking next intuitive step, even if it doesn’t seem logical at the moment.
Some of the most magical experiences in my life have come when I released the urge to micromanage and allowed life to guide me. Whether it's finding myself in the right place at the right time or meeting the perfect person for the next step in my journey, surrender has opened the door to unexpected but aligned opportunities.
Surrender doesn’t mean inaction—it means taking inspired action.
Often, this can look like small, seemingly insignificant steps. For instance, it might be as simple as reaching out to someone you haven’t spoken to in a while or following a nudge to take a walk. These small actions can open doors to new experiences, ones that wouldn’t be possible if we clung too tightly to a specific rhyme or reason.
A few months ago I heard this inner whisper - Life knows how to live, if you let it. It reminds me that just as flowers bloom without force and fruits ripen naturally, we too can trust the natural flow of life. When we align our intention, intuition, and inspired action, we co-create with life itself.
Here are a few questions to explore within yourself around surrender:
What am I afraid of losing if I surrender?
What would trusting my intuition in this situation look like?
Where have I been holding on too tightly, and what would happen if I let go just a little?
Surrender is a practice, one that invites us to dance with life rather than control it. It’s about trusting that where we’re led is exactly where we need to be.
