Flow by cardiajohnscott

Context: https://www.webmd.com/balance/features/how-to-be-present


Situation: Considering that I did not have an end in mind with the  "Write about you" I have gotten to the point I do not care about it.


Currently I have been looking at good mental health practices and found about "Flow". It has made me seriously consider what my stance on writing at all is.


Anyways, continuing with the "Write about you" stuff. I didn't have an end in mind so I didn't complete it nor do I have it completed ahead of time. But I seriously consider if I do really love writing at all. 


I have been doing something that I coin "Unplanned happiness" where I just take a few moments, bring my awareness into the forefront here and now, and then melt into doing something. I've done this in my freetime. I am still not able to truely answer the question what makes me "happy" or what is "fun" for me. So, I am doing that. It is my own way of doing "flow" because I am at present and "do what I want". I do it in the moment


I forgot that Aryion has an interactive fiction story. It represents too much to update. I need to complete the whole story, I think, with all its possibilitie and post it once it is done.


I want just want to continue to "unplanned happiness" since it is something the feels to me "original" and "authentic" enough to myself and the answer to what i'll do in terms of writing anything at all is: It depends on what I'm feeling in the exact moment I have freetime and am centered.


When I considered what I'd do if I'd do anything in my journaling it was: The Book of Particles
Why? Because it was something that did not focus on performance but just continued on.
Now, I want to even do that different and in a sense combine all artistic or essentially everything into one particular pursuit of that and do it differently. To me, now, it looks like just a general freewritten.


However, what about flow I've found is that it is best to leave the things that critique oneself, i.e. Editing oneself in writing before finished writing. It is something that ol' Natalie Goldberg and other authors talk about in terms of freewriting. Basically, you don't edit yourself as you write, you just do. Sometimes its hard to get out of that point where you are in the self doubt and then finally catch the creative wave or "the muse".


It does depend on: I am well fed, I have all of my responsibilities stablized (such as household chores done), and am not distracted by inner conflicts.


TLDR; I may change the write about you to something different and delete the write about you posts so far or I may not write anything at all and pursue a different hobby but it depends on the situation and may also be based on posting anything for anyone to see.
