November 22, 2013 by One of the most important aspects of living a positive enriching life is to achieve a state of flow. A state of flow entails that you are completely immersed in your craft and task at hand. Regardless of what you are passionate about in life, achieving a balanced state of flow is crucial for achieving long-term success. What is the flow state? The flow state is the optimal state for maximizing your brain power into your desired craft. For example, my passions in life include (but are not limited to) writing,, athletics,. When I sit down to write, I put on my favorite music and zone into the topic I want to discuss. When in the flow, there is nothing else on my mind except the task at hand, creating a dynamic where I am fully focused on creating valuable material to share with everyone. When playing sports, my focus is completely on the competition and what I need to do at every moment to help my team succeed and win. When playing poker, I like to where my mind is buzzing with strictly poker information and how to use that information to beat my opponents. How do we achieve the flow state? Achieving a state of flow is pretty easy if you are interested and truly passionate at what you are doing. You will need to rid your mind of every outside distraction that could negatively affect the outcome of your work. The ability to free the mind can only be achieved in your spare time, with. When faced with an objective or goal, your mind will be able to reach an inner focus or “zone” that will be impossible to infiltrate from outside influence. The ability to be present in the moment is crucial for success. Many of us dwell too much on the past and the future when we should be focused on the NOW. The NOW is all we have. The past and future are mere illusions, a man-made concept of time. When your mind is focused on the past or future, you are wasting valuable mental resources required to achieve the optimal state of creativity in the present moment. We can set aside time to reflect on the past, learn from our mistakes, and plan for the future. Dealing with past emotional issues and future concerns have no place in the state of optimal flow. Save time for reflection to deal with your emotional state, it is important to have your emotions in check when under pressure in competition. Competition As I have discussed in previous articles, I find myself at times desperate for competition. I need it like I need air. If I am not competing, I feel empty because I am not working and developing my skills. Competition gives me the opportunity to evaluate where I stand in terms of skill and ability. I know that there is someone else in this world right now working harder than I am. I know that there is someone out there who can beat me in poker, and I know there is someone out there who can beat me with a fastball. I want to beat them as much as they want to beat me. While some of us are born with innate talents, the rest of us must force ourselves to practice our crafts in order to master them. Even the individuals with gifted talent must practice and train to stay ahead of the curve. There is an infinite amount of resources available to everyone (the internet) to digest and learn from. Studying and applying your studies to your craft will ultimately improve your results. It is important not to be results oriented, as the results will not always be what you desire.
