According to the popular meditation platform's website, Headspace, flow state can be described as, "That sense of fluidity between your body and mind, where you are totally absorbed by and deeply focused on something, beyond the point of distraction. Time feels like it has slowed down. Your senses are heightened. You are at one with the task at hand, as action and awareness sync to create an effortless momentum. Some people describe this feeling as being “in the zone.” This is the flow state and it’s accessible to everyone, whether you’re engaged in a physical activity, a creative pursuit, or even a simple day-to-day task."
Kristin discusses the concept of carrying out your goals & vision for the future from a flow state. While it's true that to create the life of your dreams, you must take massive action, this doesn't mean it needs to be a miserable journey.
So many people fail at their goals because they are approaching the tasks from a state of chaotic energy. This makes the experience stressful and overwhelming. People then give up.
On the flip side, when the tasks within a goal are approached from a flow state, it's enjoyable. The creative juices are flowing. There is an immersion into the task at hand and you are full of clarity, bliss and focus.
Since this flow state is so enjoyable, it allows for longevity in your vision or goal. That is how you make lasting progress and carry it through to the end (or the next step in your journey).
In this episode, Kristin also shares the benefits of flow state. This includes increased focus and concentration, a sense of clarity, reduced mental chatter & feelings of bliss.
She also shares the best tips for how to achieve flow state. These tips include creating a ritual to do before the task or project, understanding the times of day when you are naturally creative and productive, doing something you love & knowing your why, eliminating distractions in your physical environment and focusing on tasks that will move the needle.
By incorporating these tips into your daily life, you can accomplish your goals & love the journey along the way.
