The 'Flow' Theory

Okay, so I was going through facebook (my new morning ritual I suppose as I wait for Brooklyn to wake up) and my brother has been reading up on this ‘flow’ theory- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mihaly_Csikszentmihalyi

If you don’t have a chance to read about the guy’s background, at LEAST give yourself the opportunity to read up on the “FLOW” paragraph. It is TOTALLY interesting and I think I need to marry this concept with my life coaching approach. J

I totally believe Jade when she says I should start this week off slowly and work my way up to the full 5 step challenge.

And this is why I’m thinking of gradually using my current ‘skill’ level to step up my motivation level.

So here’s what I’m thinking…

Week 1:

1. Get up and take the kids to the park and walk at least 1 lap around the park

2. Work on the kitchen EVERY DAY as my #1 goal

3. RELAX

Week 2:

1. Get up and take the kids to the park and walk at least 2 laps around the park

2. Work on the kitchen EVERY DAY as my #1 goal

3. Get the front room picked up and vacuumed everyday

4. RELAX

Week 3:

1. Get up and take the kids to the park and walk at least 3 laps around the park

2. Work on the kitchen EVERY DAY as my #1 goal

3. Get the front room picked up and vacuumed everyday

4. Be sure that ONE LOAD of laundry has been completed from START to FINISH

5. RELAX

Week 4:

1. Get up and take the kids to the park and walk at least 3 laps around the park

2. Work on the kitchen EVERY DAY as my #1 goal

3. Get the front room picked up and vacuumed everyday

4. Be sure that ONE LOAD of laundry has been completed from START to FINISH

5. Work on 1 ‘weekly’ item- but if it takes all week to finish it, that’s ok. At least it’s being done REALLY well.

6. RELAX
