Happy New Year 2023

New Years Card for 2023: A night scene in a forest with an elk in a tent made of a book.

A Happy New Year 2023 to all of you out there!

May you enjoy moments of blissful immersion!

We’re living an busy world, constantly tempted (or feeling forced) to dip into the stream of information and events that rush by all the time. There’s nothing wrong with that, I hasten to add. As long as we feel we’re surfing this wave instead of getting overwhelmed by it.

Take a step back every now and then

Hence, I suggest you take a step back every now and then and ask yourself: When was the last time you’ve lost yourself in a good book, forgot everything while playing (no matter whether it was an actual game or something “serious” that felt like one) or felt completely filled by a piece of music (be it a tiny melody or a symphonic opus)? In other words: Do you get that feeling of being fully immersed into what you’re currently doing about as often as you wish for?

When was the last time you’ve lost yourself in a good book?

Congratulations if the answer is a wholehearted “Yes!” – and don’t worry if it isn’t: Few people ever get there. But reflecting on such questions every once in a while and taking a small step based on your musings will get you somewhere (maybe even closer to your initial goal)!

Drop me a line!

While you’re here, I’d greatly appreciate a comment of you below. Feel free to write me where you hope to find that flow feeling in 2023 or simply say a “hello”. Both will make me happy!

  6. Hey Chris
    Thank you for your meaningful lines. No doubt, taking one step back from time to time will eventually lead to moving few steps ahead.
    Only the wise will understand – who follow themselves more than the crowds.
