Don’t believe the Hype

2

The Hype often tells us ‘this is easy’ and this is ‘simple’ and that is very probably true for the person saying it.

When you know you’re in flow…

Yes, this is a slightly ‘woo woo’ post as it’s all about ‘flow’. And if you don’t do ‘woo woo’, let’s call it ‘getting in the zone’ :)
