2023 is already more than a month and a half underway. Many people are running at full speed again. And there\u2019s nothing wrong with that\u2014especially if you\u2019re doing things that bring you joy and put you in a state of flow.
But when exactly are you in flow? It\u2019s those moments when you’re engaged in activities or work that energise you, that make you lose track of time. Things that put a smile on your face and that you talk about with enthusiasm.
Does that sound familiar? Or not at all? If it’s the latter, then definitely keep reading. <\/p>\n

Intentions for 2023<\/strong><\/h2>\n

As is tradition, many people began the new year with good intentions. Sometimes these resolutions are made just for fun, but more often they arise from something that feels off\u2014life feeling too busy, or perhaps too quiet. Setting intentions gives us direction and a reason to take action.
The first stretch is behind us\u2014January is done. How do you look back on that month? Did you want 2023 to be different, but find yourself rushing into the new year just like before?
The good news: you can choose change at any moment. Take a moment to consciously reflect on what may have held you back from taking those first steps. What could you do differently? <\/p>\n

Interpersonal mindfulness<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Reflecting on your actions is something you can do on your own\u2014but it can also be very powerful to do it together with someone else. That might be through a meaningful conversation with a colleague or a coach.
You can also experiment with interpersonal mindfulness. In this practice, both the speaker and the listener are fully present and attentive, without needing to (fully) understand or analyse what is being said. This creates space to truly feel what it is you want\u2014at work, for instance\u2014and what might be holding you back. <\/p>\n

Would you like to try practicing interpersonal mindfulness?
Below, we\u2019ll explain how it works! <\/strong><\/h2>\n

You\u2019ll need a timer and a second person to do this exercise with. That could be your partner, or a good friend. What\u2019s important is that you create an environment where you can give each other your full, genuine attention.
The focus of this exercise is not on what is being said, but on the experience of the present moment\u2014the \u2018here and now\u2019. <\/p>\n

The ‘rules of the game’ are as follows:<\/p>\n
