Hey - getting into the flow on Monday is a challenge. Big Frank was having trouble getting going this morning. He said to himself (yeah, when you live by yourself you end up talking to yourself a lot), "Blah, getting up and going to work today is not what I want to do." He was definitely not in the flow, and was feeling bummed out - in a kind of antiflow. But, in keeping with this experiment Big Frank will give the moments of flow for today and not the unflow or antiflow, or whatever - perhaps - lack of flow. So here they are:
1. Potluck at work with the staff he works with. This was in the flow - a group of people each bringing food that they had cooked specially in for this event (well, except for Big Frank, who forgot about it and - adding to the bummer start - had to go shopping for food this morning). Sitting around together and sharing food and talking about stuff that doesn't have anything to do with work - in the flow! Categorize as EATING/SOCIALIZING.
2. Discussing the concept of honest with the philosophy meetup group. The topic was "What is honesty?" There were about 15 people and the discussion was far ranging, personal, occassionally abstract, and sometimes even philosophical, but sharing thoughts and feelings, and following what others were saying was definitely being in flow. The feelings and ideas were challenging and thought provoking. Categorize as DISCUSSING/SOCIALIZING.
