HoliGamES 24 with After Movie

I arrived home on Thursday, and the party was already on Saturday.

Usually, I have weeks to prepare, but this time I only had 2 days.

And I was still working on both of them.

The worst moment came when it suddenly started raining, and in my frustration, I took an axe and chopped down a tree.

That motherfucker bothered me for years.

(It was also sick and had to be put down.)

But in the end I had a lot of fun and was in a state of flow for the majority of the time.

Btw, I just finished "Flow: The Psychology of Optimal Experience" by Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi.

Here is an interesting paraphrased passage:

"People must seek out activities that challenge them, offer clear goals, provide immediate feedback, and encourage deep focus. By doing so, they can transform daily life into a series of meaningful, enjoyable experiences, promoting long-term well-being."

This is also my goal for the HoliGamES and each year it is getting better.

For example:

This year I removed the agenda and just went with the flow.

Even though we didn't do everything I planned in the beginning it was more fun and less stressful.

(Especially after chopping down that tree.)

Here are my highlights:

⚔️ Sword Fights

🏐 Volleyball

🤾‍♂️ Dodgeball

🔥 Bonfire

♟️ Chess

No injuries. No hangovers. Just pure fun and flow.
