Yes, you can force the Flow State. Here’s how.

Yes, you can force the Flow State. Here’s how.
This entry is part 10 of 36 in the series Every Single Day

There’s much mystery and allure about the Flow State. What is it and how can I get me some?

Here’s what Wikipedia says about Flow:

In positive psychology, flow, also known as the zone, is the mental state of operation in which a person performing an activity is fully immersed in a feeling of energized focus, full involvement, and enjoyment in the process of the activity. In essence, flow is characterized by complete absorption in what one does. — Wikipedia

I’ve figured out how to get there, on a regular basis. In fact, I get there Every Single Day.

I’ve outlined the process over on my author website, but I’m adding this post here so that it’s a part of the Every Single Day series on this site. 

Head over to BradleyCharbonneau.com to read the full write-up or listen to the audio version of the post on Soundcloud.

Oh, and get into The Flow.

P.S. Since a part of how I see The Flow is practically delegating “the work” to a higher power, I’m filing this under Delegating. 😉
