FLOW

“Life is a series of natural and spontaneous changes. Don’t resist them; that only creates sorrow. Let reality be reality. Let things flow naturally forward in whatever way they like.” ― Lao Tzu

Going with the flow refers to a spontaneous attitude of letting things happen and not contradict the events in place. 

Psychologist Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi once defined FLOW as a state of mind in which we are fully focused on the task at hands and time when space seem irrelevant and when we’re taking complex challenges with the right skill set for them. For example, from an artist painting a picture, to a musician playing the guitar, several are the ways one could be in flow. 

Studies have shown that after performing a „flow activity“ individuals report higher levels of well-being, sense of accomplishment, and purpose and meaning. 

Finding your life’s flow starts with embracing your unique gifts and talents and admitting your hopes and dreams with sincerity.

So, take some time to reflect on the work you do now:

See if you find yourself in either in control, relaxation or boredom, anxiety, apathy, worry, arousal or in FLOW. 

Try to be  always honest to yourself in your self-assessment – Most of the time we like to remain in the comfort zone, where we feel dominant, certain and secure.
