Hello everyone.

 

Is there a word or phrase in chinese that is similar to the word "flow" in English in the context of being in sync with your environment/surroundings, i.e to let the day flow, or go with the ups and downs, go through life and not get caught up on things, let them pass by and move forward in a smooth fashion. 

 

Thanjs in advance!

The classic expression "顺其自然" (take things as they come; let nature take its course; let things happen naturally) comes to mind. 

 

As does, of course, "无为", the daoist concept of inaction (in the sense of spontaneous action).
