We start tomorrow! 😊

Join me for a 5-Day Flow Experiment. It's going to be FUN!🎉

I woke up this morning feeling excited.

A new month.

A new beginning.

Tomorrow is Day 1 of our 5-Day Flow Experiment.

What Will You Choose?

I always like the start of one of these Flow Experiments and Flow Challenges. The best part is choosing a 5-10 minute Flow Habit.

I often feel like a kid in a candy store.

We want it to feel fun, like a mini-vacation in our day.

We want whatever we choose to have a high chance of getting us into flow, that feeling we get when we’re so into what we’re doing that we lose track of time.

Ideally, it’s also something we don’t already do.

Or, if we do, for the next five days, we put a new, playful, flowy flair to it.

Have Fun Choosing Your Flow Habit 😊

For the last month, I did my own 28-Day Flow Challenge (this 5-Day Flow Experiment is a mini-version of the 28-Day Flow Challenge, think of it like a Flow Habit Sprint!)

I showed up here, on Substack, sharing flow fragments—experts from my daily doodling and flow-writing sessions.

It’s helpful to do something that not only brings you joy, just for the sake of it, but also to choose something you’re not already doing.

Since, I’m now in the habit of writing and doodling every morning, I’m been brainstorming how I can make it new.

I’m feeling called to add in movement and nature…

Hmmmm…..

I wonder if I can come up with a way to doodle, dance, and write in nature, all in 5-10 minutes? 😂

Just the fact that made me smile shows me I’m no the right path.

That’s what this all about…

The choosing is often how the flow magic starts.

(I’ll keep you posted in tomorrow’s email.)

No Such Thing as “Perfect”!

The other “ideal” is that we don’t hold ourselves to any “ideals!” 🤣

These 5-Day Flow Experiments are how we practice what I call a Flow Mindset.

We’re curious.

We’re experimenting.

We’re keeping it simple, so simple that 5-10 minutes is all it takes.

Sure, we might do it longer. But, we don’t have to.

We don’t make ourselves right or wrong. (That stops flow.)

Instead, we say yes to our inner child who already knows how to flow, and where flow wants us to go.

What’s Your Back-Up Plan?

It helps to have a back-up plan.

One minute.

If it’s time for bed and you forgot to do it (speaking from personal experience), ask yourself what’s a one-minute version that you can do to keep your momentum going, to help you feel like a flow success to YOU?

What a Relief!

There’s no right or wrong way to flow, or to do this 5-Day Flow Experiment.

This 5-Day Flow Experiment is about your relationship with YOU.

It’s not about learning anything new from an expert “out there.”

YOU are already a Flow Expert!

This 5-Day Experiment is about reclaiming what you already know works for you. You’re reclaiming your power by reclaiming the joy you had as a child, discovering the world, your inner world, on your own terms.

Get Ready to be Surprised

Flow always has ripples.

When we choose to jump into flow’s river, consciously, it’s amazing where flow takes us.

New ideas. New feelings. New friends. New ah-has. New directions.

This 5-Day Flow Experiment is not about having a plan and sticking to it, it’s about trying a plan and having the courage to play, pivot, follow your intuition about what works for you, and be carried to a greater flow.

Keep it Simple

It’s also about keeping things simple—simple enough that you actually do what you know in your heart is good for you. You are the only one on the face of the universe who knows what that is.

Your intuitive voice knows, the one calmly whispering to you beneath the clutter and chaos of the world.

5-10 minutes is all it takes.

And the willingness to say yes to that whisper within.

This 5-Day Flow Experiment is about expansion, being willing to do something different, willing to accept that you don’t have all the answers, but you’re willing to discover a few new ones by playing.

This 5-Day Flow Experiment is an invitation to lay some new tracks back to YOU, an invitation to return for a few minutes to that joyful inner spark, that childlike delight that is the energy of your True Self and see where it wants you to go.

Your True Self wants to work its magic in your life. This 5-Day Flow Experiment is how we say YES, I trust you, let’s do this—together.

What’s Your Flow Habit?

If you’re joining, comment below and let me know what your 5-10 minute flow activity will be. I’ll be sending out daily emails for the next five days to cheer you on.

You don’t need to get the emails to experience the magic of flow.

The key is trusting what works for you.

(You can always hit reply or email me privately and we can chat that way too!)

Rooting for you!

Happy Flowing!
