It’s My Birthday!

May 10, 2007  |  Blog

As 3 weeks has gone by without blogging – maybe the answer -
is yes! I am lazy. But I have been too busy enjoying myself to blog.

It’s my birthday and I’ve been going to yoga days, going out
to dinner with my girlfriends, off to Paris for
the weekend, going to the Chelsea Physic Garden for a tour.

Basically getting away from work, childcare, stressing with
the husband and how do I feel? FANTASTIC! If vaguely guilty…..can I really be
this self-indulgent? Yes, say the experts.

The route to inner peace is to follow your ‘flow’ so says
Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi, a psychologist from the University of Chicago.
He studied thousands of people for more than 30 years to discover what makes
OUR LIVES meaningful and satisfying.

From his research he wrote a book called Flow – which is a
narrowing of attention, a sense of being absorbed, and a feeling of
transcendence. Any activity can lead to flow, playing a game, listening to
music, whatever floats your boat.

What floats yours and what can you do to get more ‘flow’ in
your life?
