finding FLOW
Everyone is talking about “hacking FLOW states”, meaning they’ve found a way to pursue exhilarating lives. If you’re like me, often life feels more like a hack and not at all flowy!
A new little human being has recently joined our family tribe and, suddenly, negotiating outings has become a Brexit stalemate. Saturday mornings go something like this:
“What should we do today, guys?” I query with trepidation and a false smile.
“Grumph,” says my hungry hubby until his intermittent fast ends at midday.
“Nothing,” the pre-tween disengages. He is dressed in head-to-toe hero attire, with jingly bell around his neck to warn us away.
“Well, I’m not going for a hike,” says the intimidating six-year-old. Now creative in his obstructive tactics, he either refuses to walk upright or walks backwards.
“Let’s go out for tea,” says an enthusiastic Gran.
The 10-month-old gurgles co-operatively until… until she is strapped into the car seat, when she screams blue murder.
