    Rapid eye movement, and fast analisis of things, the first time i entered the flow state i was driving evading holes, listening to techno after smoking a joint. When i came back home i felt my neurons doing all the conections in my head and i started writing till i felt asleep. Next day i went to buy books without knowing what book i was going to buy, then i found this book, but i think it found me too, i felt a sense of sintony and i started reading "alternative story of the XX Century". In one of the chapters it talks about the flow state, and since that moment i have been training my mind to adapt the flow state, and i have been changing a lot of things in my life faster, i study on inmense ectassy, i left behind the dependence and i cant stop learning new things.

    flow state is the natural state, thought is a blockage, thinking rather than being/doing. Thought should only arise due to confusion/ a problem needs resolving, ie the sub conscious or instincts aren't prepared. The problem is that we are all trained to be obsessive compulsive problem solvers and to be self obsessed comparers

    For me,100% raw cocoa powder (without sugar!) induces a flow state all day long. 3 teaspoons in a cup of hot water every morning doing really good things, however, it needs about 5-7 days to start working, and also, deep breathing is always helpful :) I don't recommend mixing it with alcohol because it weakens effects and stimulants like caffeine may cause insomnia and hyperactivity.

    Nice to see this is actually a thing. I experienced flow first times about 7-8 years ago at my work. I wasnt very experienced worker at that time but when i did hit flow everything went perfectly, no mistakes, fast performance, it feels almost like i have no body, no pain when moving and moving fast isnt taxing at all. Nowdays i can put that flow on every day full 8 hours, getting used to it. Most important thing is to put your phone down, think tasks you are gonna do, do it before you go to sleep and right after you wake up and you are ready. And after everything is done, rest, eat, take it easy, let brains calm down, and allways try be positive, every feedback your body or someone gives, fix it as early as possible, learn from it and next time be even better.

    Tried & True:
    I play Japanese and Chinese instrumentals during school classes and art classes for the children. I’ve noticed number one, most important, cut all toxic chemicals from the environment! And, number two with these instruments, and zero chemicals the children were in the flow-big time. They took themselves more seriously and challenged themselves to complete their task.
    The nonsensical distractions throughout the day were non-existent. Plus, everyone performed much better, a complete 180 turnaround. As they were not only elated to be in the present learning and concentrating but they never complained and were with more confidence and totally smiling and upbeat as they headed home.
    Sitting properly with good posture also increases performance, dramatically.
    Ambience, environment, sound, posture and all natural products substantially increases ones performance. 🕊♥️🕊

    Fasting is basically utilizing all the sugar in your body. If you know how sugar affects your body you will understand why it is also a big part in building a momentum. Upon entering the state of flow you will need to have a clear vision of what you're trying to accomplish. And must have an unshakeable conviction to finish the task. When you become used to this state of mental conditioning you will be able to control your body's reaction to your environment, but this time your conscious mind will be in command. You must have a balance of both, to be able to override both parts of the brain, your conscious mind should be able to control your emotional brain and subconscious brain by overriding everything for example entering a meditative state of mind while in a controlled environment(clearing your thoughts and emotions away from visualizing your goal). That is the process of eliminating both subconscious and emotional while trying to gain full control of being in the present moment in other words self control. Also, in building momentum before you engage in the activity you should force adrenaline to get into your system meaning you should know how to excite yourself force your brain activate adrenaline rush. The vision should be vivid enough to stimulate and get you pumped. This cant be achieved without knowing economy of motion. Imagine working for 8 hours forced accelerated movement just because you want to look agile and ready for work, which is wrong. Use your energy wisely, avoid exerting too much energy just trying to look energetic, you're just wasting yourself. Economy of motion is one of the key there. Sense of ego is diminished because your sense of social projection hinders the individual from completing the task, just lose yourself.

    I think this can also relate to the concept of knowing how to live in the now.
    Meditation, day planning, health diet and good blood circularion by cold showers and or a quick run in the morning helps to get into the zone.
    On the mental part. I'm still learning, but what I find hard to maintain is to silence my ego and my negative thoughts that occurs in every one's day to day life.
    I can silence my mind by music, but is not to effective as I want to.
    So.. this flow state is the base for everything else in life.

    If you want to get into the flow state, you must forget about yourself.
    flow means you flow with object or consciousness or thinking.
    brain worry about you always. it might be using your brain about 50%.
    So if you can forget about yourself, you can use your brain more than usual.
    you should think there is nothing in the world except that you have to do now.
    try to imagine that you met murderer.
    what should you do then?
    do you have a time to think about your friends, your future, homework, laundry, news, TV, movie or whatever?
    in the flow state, you have no time to think about other things.

Base on ur reaction time u will be successful in catching ur phone or getting away from the water. At that moment it feels like magic because its like u didn't think u just reacted or it just happened... Its like ur mind, body and soul fuses together to make the thought and the action happen at the same exact time without u even noticing until after the fact lol.. That's y u have to already know about the task and what it takes to complete it, With confidence and confirmation build urself up to the best state of mind for the task, then just instantly do it with ur FULL focus on the task and NOTHING else..

      Subscribe to mindsmash and actualized.com you will swim like a fish. But you must invest the time energies in the right places. Watch flow state videos, philosophy science understanding the loss of self the loss of the ego. Check out Bruce Lee quotes like flow like water my friend. The only help they sell help. We all have it within the flow state where it's like one is allowing it to flow through them versus I am doing this. But rather this is doing this through me and for me. Watch Connor McGregor flow state videos. A very powerful quote is self awareness is the biggest hindrance to any physical movement. Meaning lose the self/the ego and flow like water. Let this flow through you and the other swimmers that don't posses this knowledge we'll take the leap and you will be truely impressed at what you can do. One more tip is watch peaceful warrior. It's all about losing the ego which damns us in so many ways. It stars Nick nolte who is a super genius. Good luck their flipper🐟😎

Remember back to when you were a child and everything was interesting beautiful and truly magical? That is the way life really is so find the child within the little boy the little girl within. But have a adult-type intellect. Run your life on that intellect versus emotions. K that's it the rest is up to guess who? You and losing you.

      No one is perfect. Everyones flow is different. He was very spot on with the info. And for the most part flowed rather well. That's my take any way. But my take really isn't my take. Meaning I view things in being state. Being cognition versus deficiency cognition. being cognition helps us to see more in the totality so to speak. Deficiency cognition is perception our view of things based on our mind our past experiences AKA the ego. When we view things deficiency cognition one tends to notice the small negative things versus noticing it for what it is. Some people only see the bad things in life and all the good things in life passed them by unnoticed. Some people only view the good things in life and for the most part all the bad things past them by unnoticed. It's all on how you view things. A good quote is absorb what is useful disregard which is not etc. So when one exhibits this one must question one's self how many other things do I view in this manner of deficiency. Maybe something to self observe on? Check out actualized.com you might find it interesting..

Also, its called observation and constructive criticism based on observation. The presenter is clearly nervous, a clear proof of that is constant mispronunciation of words and breaking sentences. He is clearly not in flow. But the information he presented was good.

    Flow is often ehat people with anorexia get into. It's nick named "the ana high" similar feeling to a ketosis high and/or runners high. You might also notice the people eith anorexia have very narrow focus, things tend to be black and white, compulsive, obsessive, perfectionists. This info can help you understand why a friend or family member can't "just stop". It's addictive. Its why you're sister may be offended if you cause her of starving herself "for boys". It really is this thing that feels so beautiful and society just reinforces (but does not cause) anorexia with compliments. It's about that feeling that takes away the trauma and depression

      From a young age, I've just naturally known the most efficient way to solve any problem I've encountered. I can turn off the self-aware part of my brain like I'm still conscious and I can remember everything, but language stops, I don't think, I just dedicate my brain power to doing. It happens under high intensity and when I have a single task and no distractions. Like school is a place where I can just learn, so I do. Idk how to explain it in a helpful way to someone else, it just comes naturally to me. It could be on account of my high IQ, I really don't know, but I've always thought differently from the other well-performing kids in my classes, I've never studied, but I always test better than everyone else. I think you just have to *actually want* to do something. You know what I mean? It can't be like a stress-induced want either, you just have to want it like you want to be successful and have money. You have to want it like you want happiness. *I think that's the secret of entering the flow state. You have to want something, the same way you want to live when you encounter another person with a knife. * A person with a goal is un-fucking-stoppable.

      svantiii I started to lose it after my grandfather died. He was the only encouraging parent figure I’ve ever known and he died when I was 12. I pretty much maintained it until I was 15, but the crippling loneliness of having no one to talk to broke me, so at this point I can still do it, but not nearly to the extent I could when I was younger. For like 3 years I tried, alone as a child, to regain that same feeling of having a perfectly focused mind, but I never could simply because it is literally not possible to have friends in the mindset I was in. In order to continue with how I was, I would have needed to be arrogant and a huge narcissist and probably ignorant(although I really was open minded, but with how I talked to people, I would never get the chance to understand them), I’ve also been smoking a lot of weed and that definitely reduces my capability of doing anything, but I also do it too much, so take that with a grain of salt. I’m still only 16, so I could completely lose it in adulthood, but for now I still am able to enter that specific mindset in school and just sit alone and learn. Only way I see myself losing it is if I don’t need to go to school, because it comes so naturally there. So I could lose it eventually.

    How to hack ‘flow’ a new perspective from affective neuroscience
    Procedure: Consistent alternation between a resting protocol (e.g. mindfulness) and the pursuit of meaningful behavior will increase motivation and positive affect (arousal and pleasure).
    Explanation: Resting elicits opioid activity, or feels pleasurable, and meaningful behavior, as defined as behavior that has branching novel and positive outcomes (writing that great novel or just making the bed) elicits dopamine activity which causes arousal. The awareness of subsequent meaningful behavior while engaging in relaxation protocols such as mindfulness elicits a ‘priming’ response, namely dopamine release that increases opioid activity, and vice versa, making meaningful behavior seem self-reinforcing or ‘autotelic’. This procedure can be derived empirically, demonstrated personally, and emerges logically from an analysis of peak or ‘flow’ experiences.
    More granular detail on the neuroscience behind this in the little open-source book on learning theory below, and from the work of the distinguished affective neuroscientist Kent Berridge, from whose work this procedure is derived, and who also was kind to review and endorse my work linked below.

There is no “easy” way to get into flow state regardless of what some would indicate. Being mindful, being in nature, and being challenged and focused are all precursors to low, medium, or high level flow states. This was my analysis of the video so to each his own, also try different things out and see what gets you to flow, you would be surprised what could be your go to trigger(s)
