Flow Magazine - International Issue 44

It is hard to explain Flow without holding it in your hands. More than a magazine, it offers a different way of looking at time, creativity and everyday things.

Flow brings together mindfulness, positive psychology and a love of paper.
Each issue weaves together stories, illustrations and creative ideas, with the unique balance of lightness and depth that makes it so recognisable. The pages change paper, rhythm and tone, guiding you through a reading experience that is never linear, but full of pauses, inspiration and little moments to set aside for yourself.

Issue 44 is dedicated to anyone who feels the need to slow down.
What are we really running towards? Only when we slow down can we understand what matters in life.
That is why Flow 44 offers five exercises to pause and reconnect with yourself.
Inside, you will also find tips for starting your own junk journal: a way of keeping memories that, as Flow’s Caroline Buijs discovered, also helps calm the mind.
Then there is an invitation to try one of the so-called ‘grandma hobbies’, such as birdwatching: leave your phone at home, slip a little notebook into your pocket and head outside.
Through articles, illustrations and ideas to read (and reread), Flow continues to create a gentle but never superficial space where creativity meets self-care.

Inside this issue

• Being alone: choosing to stay single for a while

The extras (that always make a difference)

• A notebook devoted to birds, to take on walks: record what the birds you see look like, then find out which species they are when you get home. Or use it freely for inspiring phrases, ideas or anything else.
• And a colour poster, the ‘Offline poster’, reminding you to celebrate offline life.
  An issue to keep on your bedside table and open when you need to pause — even just for a few pages.
