Flow Moments...

After looking back at what I enjoyed doing as a kid / teenager, I thought about what it is I enjoy doing now, in my job, past jobs and freetime. I try to find moments where I have a "flow" - "nach dem gelungenen Moment" (the successful moment). This flow moment is defined as a time where somebody is totally taken up with time and engages in an activitry which challenges him/her enough to need full concentration and attention. The person is totally in agreement with his skills that a feeling of deep satisfaction is evoked.

So... let´s have a try on this. My flow moments in the past / now:

• When I was sittting in "my" LC Office - the feeling of of this is mine and I can work with it change something


• Working with people who stimulate your thoughts and challenge you


• Being a trainer / presenting something in front of an audience


• "Eine Sache im Griff haben" - to have control over something / know how to do it etc


• To multitask


• To put my own ideas into practice


• To create sth, to find out,to fiddle about, to puzzle


• To work on sth on my own, create my own concept ad then go through it with someone else


• Seeing that things are running


• To organise, plan, structure


• To care about sth (flowers, people having enough to eat..)


• To make sth more beautiful /comfi (e.g. a flat, office...)


• To proove myself and get praise for it


• To realize that I have influence on somebody / something in a positive sense and to see how a thing / piece of work or person develops / grows


• Small chunks of work, not hour long pieces or days to work on the same thing


• To see something evolve


• To take conscious time for myself - ME TIME


• Cooking

Loads of things.... I guess.

The missing step is now to think about where I see myself in the future.. what are my dreams etc.
To make this easier, I bought myself a pinboard which will be my "Vision Board". This is a board where I can put up texts, articles, pictures etc which express my dreams and future.

Interesting to see what will hang up there in a few weeks :)
