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 :)
