Flow State

Re: Flow State

It’s that higher state of consciousness where you are mindful and aware of your surroundings and in control of your emotions. Focused and undistracted and able to achieve 8 hours of work in 2 hours. (Kind of like the movie Limitless and Lucy, but not really ;o))

Meditation & breathing exercises are definitely the way to ‘train’ your brain. But like you said, it takes time and dedication. Life (!!) gets in the way and it’s hard to prioritize and make time to do this regularly. I would love to have that kind of control on my brain though!

By the way if you’re non-religious like me and into meditation, you might enjoy this book - Waking Up by Sam Harris.

Is there an audible version of the book? I have a long drive to work and I have been looking for something like this to listen to on my way. I would love that!

I have made it my life goal to reach that state. I have been into it for a long time but never heard the term “flow state.” I usually refer to Buddhist eightfold path, which is the same thing basically. The peace you feel at that state of mind is incredible. Nothing can set you off until something does. LOL!
