I’m reading a very interesting book at the moment, by Roger Hamilton -“Your Life Your Legacy” An Entrepreneur’s Guide to Finding your Flow. I’ve been really interested in the meaning of ‘flow’ recently - speaking about it to others and finding out what it means for them. For me, when I’m totally involved in something that I love to, I feel ‘at one’ with it - no separation. I love the feeling of being so absorbed with what I’m doing, I lose track of time and seem to be quite unaware of what’s going on around me. Being ‘in flow’ is also when your skills match the challenges and it feels like ‘you’re on a roll’ and nothing can get in your way!
I’d be interested in hearing about your experience of ‘being in flow’
Also - what’s the legacy that YOU want to leave behind in the world?

This is exciting, I am studying ‘flow’ at the moment. It is M. Csikszentmihalyi’s contibution to the field of Positive Psychology. Marti Seligman mentions his work quite a bit in his book : “Authentic Happiness’ - he says its a state of absorption, an antidote to self-absorption…….this is where my interest in play comes in….. absorption in the flow of gay abandon in the play act itself- ENLIVENING!
