Here Was Yesterday’s There: The Habit of Looking Ahead (S18E1)


Here was yesterday's there...

​Hey lovely Reader​

Do you ever find yourself looking forward to the end of the day… before it's fully begun?

Or planning your next break, even as the last one just ended?

It’s such a human habit - this yearning to skip ahead, to be somewhere else, some time else.

In this week’s episode, I explore that urge. The pull into the future. The restlessness that can make it hard to be fully here - even when here is something we once longed for.

I talk about:

  • The childhood wish to be all grown up
  • The cultural conditioning that pushes us out of the present
  • And the practice of softening back into the moment we’re actually in

This week’s episode offers a spacious, reflective start to the new season - and one I hope lands gently with you.

There are many other wonderful things I'd love to invite you to explore - some are included below. You will be so very welcome at them all!

And, as we step into autumn and begin this brand new season of the podcast, I hope this finds you safe, happy, well, present and at ease.

With love

PS: A small new thing I’m experimenting with...

From this coming Tuesday, I’ll be trialling a new bonus-episode each week called Tuesday’s Thought.

Just 5–10 minutes to explore (and maybe spark) some deeper reflections from that week's episode. After recording, I often find things crystallise or new thoughts reveal themselves. Tuesday’s Thought is a place to share that - with a gentle invitation to explore your own unique reflections.

You’ll find it in your usual podcast feed from Tuesday morning - and I’d love to hear what you think.

PS: To see everything that's coming up this Autumn, the website has it all: hennyflynn.co.uk

Top 3 things to explore...

Experience the joy & power of Flow Journaling - Thurs 11 Sept 7pm-8pm (UK)

A free on-line event that marks the launch of this year's Flow Journaling Quest - 7-days of prompts & gentle guidance.

This is for you if you’d like:

  • A gentle way to quiet your mind
  • A practice that helps you feel more grounded and self-compassionate
  • To dip your toe into journaling in a supportive, welcoming space

You don’t need to bring anything except a notebook, a pen and a little curiosity.

Immerse in The Heart of Change - just 2 spaces remaining

A spacious year-long journey in a small group.

You’ll explore what change truly means for you, uncover what may be holding you back, and begin to reshape the patterns and beliefs that no longer serve. The work is deep, but it’s held lightly - with warmth, kindness and care.

Places are filling up, and numbers are kept intentionally small - so if this is calling you, do let me know. It would be lovely to have you with us.
