RE: The Wonderful Mystery of Being "In the Flow!"

in #psychology6 years ago

I really like the process of being "in the zone/ flow" especially when it comes to writing. I remember early this year, I got a freelance gig writing e-books and I could write for hours. I loved it! I would focuss with no distractions. However, when it ended, I was back to writing about 300 words day or even less. I then left Steemit because I would write to get rewards. I really relate with what you said about writing with no pressure. Are there things you do to get yourself in the flow?

Also: coincidentally, I am listening to this amazing audiobook called "deep work" on Youtube that talks about this. If you have time, check it out.

Have a great day.

I am back on Steemit and looking to connect with my proir networks. Cheers!

Welcome back @jeanwandimi! Seems like you were out of the loop for several months? Glad to have you back!

As for finding flow, I didn't exactly leave Steemit... I have made a point of being very "sticky" around here, but I chopped my time way down and focused most of my energies on rebuilding one of my older businesses. That removed any ideas I might have that I was in any way dependent on this place even for a little part time income.

And that was about recognizing that I had actually fallen into that particular "trap."

I am back to writing simply because I enjoy it. And that's pretty cool... and creates a spaciousness inside; a freedom to create.

Thanks for the audiobook tip!

Ah. I love that perspective shift. I realise that I can still strike a balance and do other projects and hop on here from time to time. looking forward to your future posts. Have a great day!
