The law of rhythm: trust the processes even if you do not see the result yet

The Law of Rhythm is one of the 7 universal laws proposed by Kybalion, an esoteric text published in 1908 by three anonymous authors who signed as “the three initiates” that collects the beginning of hermeticism a philosophical tradition attributed to Hermes Trismegisto, a mythical figure that is considered a fusion of the Egyptian God Thot and the Greek god Hermes.

We live in a culture that glorifies constant growth, productivity without pause, sustained success. We live accelerated seeking immediate solutions, instant results and constant certainties. It is taught that advancing is always going up, that stopping is losing and going back is failing. People forget that life does not respond to a linear logic, but rather, responds to rhythms.

The wisdom of the law of rhythm

The law of the rhythm remembers that the entire universe moves in cycles: stations, tides, moon, emotions, ideas and even the results. Pretending to escape this rhythm is fighting the current. You will end up exhausted, frustrated, and even sometimes, breaking or breaking others.

We see it in nature: there is a time to sow, one to wait and another to harvest. And although it is difficult to accept it, there is also time for silence, replication and domestic learning. The same goes for personal and professional processes: not everything happens when you want, but everything comes when you are prepared to receive it.

Pause times are not a waste of time, they are fertile terrain to grow in. Anxiety for results often makes precipitated decisions or abandoned early. The law of the rhythm invites us to trust the process, in the natural movement of life, in which even the moments of “setback” are necessary to take impulse.

Apply the law of rhythm to your life and your company

Observe and recognize what your moments of greatest energy and creativity are, in the same way that it recognizes what are the periods where you need to lower your rhythm and recharge energy. Cronotypes are biological patterns that determine when the body and mind work better, based on the internal clock – or circadian rhythm – of each individual.

There are the lark or early risers, who are those who feel more active and alert in the morning, those who usually wake up early with energy and pay better before noon. They tend to bed early.

Owls or nightly, are those people who work better in the afternoon and night, feel that they “wake up” strongly after noon and usually lie down late, with difficulty getting up early.

And finally, hummingbirds or intermediates that are those who do not have such a marked preference and can adapt both in the morning and afternoon, with productivity peaks distributed throughout the day.


  • Be flexible when planning

Define clear objectives, but be flexible in times and methods. In the moments of “downturn” or pause, take the opportunity to reflect, learn or adjust strategies, without pressing to advance.

Planning using the Smart methodology, an acronym that describes the characteristics that a well raised objective must have to increase the chances of success. Based on five criteria: that they are Specific (clear and concrete), Measurable (with indicators that allow evaluating progress), Attainable (realistic according to the available resources), Relevant (aligned with priorities and purpose) and Temporal (with a deadline).

  • Do not make important decisions in full decline

Difficult crises or periods cloud the trial. When you are at a time of low energy or mood, try not to make definitive or drastic decisions; Wait for the cycle to change to evaluate more clearly.

  • Incorporate conscious breaks

Active pause program, days of disconnection or activities that nourish you physically and emotionally. Resting is not wasting time, it is preparing for the next action cycle.

  • Practice self -observation without trial

Learn to look at your emotions and results without cataloging them as “good” or “bad.” Understanding that everything is part of a natural movement helps to release excessive self -examination.

  • Combine female and masculine energy

Use the male energy of doing and action to advance, but also honors the female energy of intuition, listening and patience to know when to wait and when to release.

Having a mentor, coach or support network allows you to maintain perspective in the cycles and avoid isolation in difficult times.
