Flowing Like a River: A Thought Piece on Flow

How well are you flowing through life?

Flow is a state of mind where time seems to disappear, and you’re fully absorbed in the task at hand. But flow isn’t just for work or hobbies—it can be an entire way of living.

Panta rhei, or “everything flows,” is an ancient concept from Heraclitus, suggesting that life is like a river—always changing, always moving.

What if we could live more like a river, flowing smoothly through the obstacles of life instead of resisting them?

Imagine yourself as water, adapting to the curves and challenges of your environment, finding the path of least resistance, and continuing forward, no matter what.

How can we embrace change and keep moving?
