I'm working through the '27 Questions to Find Your Passion' worksheet from Live Your Legend, a fabulous site devoted to encouraging people to discover their passions and pursue them. Join me!
Question #7: When was the last time you were in a state of flow, in the zone and totally lost track of time? What were you doing?
To be quite honest, I'm having a difficult time remembering the last time that happened on any significant scale. Perhaps that's a sad commentary, but it's been quite a while since I was so into something that it absorbed me completely. I find the current lack of that in my life rather disquieting.
But the question is not asking how long it's been; it's asking what the activity was. So I shall attempt to summon an answer.
Editing, I suppose. As in part 6, I can easily get into a sort of flow regarding the editing/typesetting of documents. Also, I used to become absorbed in math projects/research/homework when in school, and I do still get some of that same excitement and engagement when one of my grad-school friends asks me a crunchy math question.
And, of course, dance. For sanity maintenance I go out dancing once a week, and usually have no idea what time it is until they call for the last song. Dance is a huge part of who I am. It rejuvenates me, it makes me happy, it connects with me on a very visceral level.
Previous questions: part 1:happiness , part 2: invincibility, part 3: gratitude, part 4: skills, part 5: heroes, part 6: obsession.
