Episode 5: Let's Explore Finding Flow in our Daily Lives
Today we are discussing the concept of "flow state" or "peak state," describing it as a state where often time flies, distractions decrease, and what you are working on becomes easier to focus on. Noting physical sensations like relaxation, warmth, and lack of tension in the body when in flow.
Acknowledging the opposite, not being in flow feels draining, tense, and distracting, with tasks feeling burdensome and time dragging on. Forever….sometimes.
The importance of noticing when we are in flow, and when we are not, to experience more of it. Consider setting intentions in the morning to pay attention to these states. Decide today to experiment with different activities and environmental factors to facilitate flow, such as listening to music, changing lighting, and engaging in physical movement. Starting with the small stuff can make a bigger impact over time.
Finally, commit to some "homework," encouraging yourself to set daily intentions to notice flow, try new or previously enjoyed (I like to call them retro-activities, things you may have enjoyed when you were younger) activities that bring joy, and reflect on your experiences regularly to cultivate more flow in your life.
