TIME TO FLOW

DIVE INTO FLOW

​Accessing your flow state is to become one with everything. Adjusting your life to a flow frequency requires goal clarity and the active practice of surrendering to the moment.


We put our life in a state of flow when we can identify and embrace what is in our control and let go of what is out of our control with ease. This directs our energy and brain power towards making the changes we need to obtain what we seek. Surrendering to flow brings rich meaning and fulfillment to life because we are not distracted by the mundane.


Flow state is Identifying the self as a part of something much larger than the inauthentic and the mundane. Less annoyed by boredom, less overwhelmed by daily obstacles, less held back by fear. It is an active process of self-awareness and making choices towards a meaningful and successful existence.


Flow theory became of interest to positive psychology researchers studying the creative process during the 60's. Scientifically, it is called transient hypofrontality and is a state of consciousness that allows the pre-frontal cortex of our brain to take a break. This frees us up from self-consciousness and self-talk and welcomes us into a more relaxed, creative and effective state.

How to practice flow

​All efforts of a human being are to attain effortlessness in the future. Accessing flow allows you to obtain effortlessness right now because in this state, your brain processes information without the obstacles of self-consciousness. You are less aware of the self and more aware of the moment, you are in an effortless state of consciousness.


You can find flow in the activities that truly interest you, which is why artists are able to enter flow so easily while they practice their art. Yoga, meditation, running, and swimming are all examples of activities that may put a person into a flow state of consciousness. Once you become familiar with what puts you into a flow state, you can integrate more of these moments into your life! When you become familiar with how to access it, you will be able to access it at any moment.


Become aware of your goals in life and the flow you want your life to be a part of. You can navigate any decision by asking yourself, will this feed the flow I desire for my life? You can choose to respond instead of react. You gain access to your full potential and to a fulfilling existence by becoming one with flow and something larger than the self.
