This is the mental state we all need to achieve to attain real and lasting success in whatever we choose to do. This is not solely about making money. It’s about anything you might aspire to. The way people reach this state is to know where they want to be, determine what they might have to do, or how they might have to behave, to get there. Then, they immerse themselves in the activity, or the behaviours, and ignore the outcome. By focusing on the activity, and getting satisfaction from the activity, they are able to enter the flow state that ensures the outcome they desire will happen. I know that sounds a bit woo woo, but this is how things happen. Consider how sports are played. There aren’t too many sports where the players have time to make decisions about what they are going to do. They rely on muscle memory for their actions because, if they have to stop and think, it’s too late. They play the game in the flow or they tense up and fail. It’s the same with musicians, artists, actors, etc. There’s probably not too many things people do that do not involve being in the flow state to do things well. Regards, P.S. One thing that helps you get into that flow state is understanding that whatever you will not be perfect, and that’s OK. Some people struggle with this idea so, if that’s you, this might help: |
