You know that feeling you get when you…

…come out of an unproductive meeting.

…finally break away from scrolling social media.

…peel yourself off the couch after binge watching a few too many episodes.

…get sucked into your phone and can’t even remember why you picked it up.

​

Malaise.

Discontent.

Annoyed.

​

This is the opposite of flow. Too much of this leads to an unfulfilling hour, day, week, month, year(s)!

​

I’ll be the first to raise my hand.

I’m guilty of bringing my phone to the toilet so that my kids don’t see me scrolling social media. Sticking around for one more episode when I know that I would rather be sleeping. Checking one more time to see if that post got any likes.

​

How can we get more fulfillment – more flow?

Intention.

Focus.

Purpose.

​

Not fleeting. But through and through.

If you’re a swimmer, you might already be familiar with the satisfaction you get when you come out of the water (if not, let’s talk). Swimming facilitates flow because, for the most part, you’re free of distractions – there’s no TV, your cell phone is stashed away in your bag (I hope), and your boss and kids can’t bug you.

Flow is the theme of the month for February. Join the Monthly Welcome Call on Monday at noon Pacific!
