Flow = Mindset 

 15 June 2016

Flow - this topic has been on my mind for a long time. I love to immerse myself in activities that I enjoy - whether privately or professionally. And to really get lost in it, to forget space and time, that not only creates a feeling of happiness for me, but also gives my life more ease and lets me face many things more calmly. And last but not least, it's also a kind of strategy for me to take an active role in this complex world and assume responsibility instead of just passively observing.

To reach this state again and again, I have installed many tools and helpers in my life. But much more important seems to me:

  1. The question of mindset: A new time management tool here, a bit of productivity there, and wellness once a month. Such selective changes are a start - but the topic only really picks up speed when it reflects the inner attitude. Yes, I would say: "Flow is a question of attitude".
  2. The will to change: Every new method, habit, tool or ritual initially means getting out of your comfort zone. And that takes courage and sometimes a thick skin.
  3. Every life is different: What works for one person may hinder another. The only thing that helps is to try out what suits you.
  4. Nothing lasts forever: change can always mean that things you have grown to love no longer work. The only thing to do is to reflect again and again, clean out and integrate new things.
