Flow Links Happiness and Peak Performance
- Flow is a peak state where time distorts and self-sense disappears, enabling us to feel and perform at our best.
- Unlike success, flow is synonymous with happiness, highlighting why accessing flow is deeply important.
Flow Reduces Stress and Boosts Productivity
- Flow decreases stress by pushing out stress hormones and reactivating the parasympathetic nervous system.
- This neurobiological reset boosts productivity dramatically, sometimes up to 500%.
Four Stages to Enter Flow
- Enter flow through a four-stage cycle: struggle, release, flow, and recovery.
- Balance challenge and skill (about 5% more challenge) to sharply focus and trigger flow.
