A Day to 'Flow'

For our wellbeing we need to experience Flow over the day, Flow being the state of being fully absorbed by something or somebody to the extent that we don't notice time going by. We are using our skills, like a surfer, someone painting, tuning in to the emotions of another person. There are endless possibilities.

We are challenged but not beyond or below our skills, we are living life fully. We are living the life we have been given exploring its potential, creating something beautiful and worthwhile in some shape or another. Even if nobody else notices or knows, it doesn't matter because we know.

One lady described her love of singing, song-writing and playing the guitar but she did it when no-one else was around, it was 20 years later that she eventually made a single and an album, but it was something she loved doing. She wouldn't make a living from it but for her it was a natural step forward, sharing her love for music, her message of hope through music.

So what is my flow? Well, I do love getting on the bike into nature. Just now harvesting the birch water, doing a bit of stretching and getting a nice photo, is a morning flow I enjoy. Then comes the juice-making which I could enjoy more as it's a privilege to get organic apple, celery, lemon and cucumber at such reasonable prices and to benefit from the hard work people have done growing and nourishing those plants/trees, transporting them, minding them in their shops and making sure we get the best produce possible.

And I could love cleaning the juicer more as it's such a beautiful amazing machine. And so the story goes on. I guess what I'm saying is that we can inject flow into any situation if we want to by connecting to the creative power and love that is within and in people all around us. That we are benefiting from at every moment of the day. 

So now I have to flow along. How about you, what is your flow?
