NOTE

Different Types of Flow States Based on Neurotransmitters

Flow states can be categorized into dopamine-driven and nor epinephrine-driven states. Dopamine-driven individuals experience a flow state when they feel anticipatory and euphoric, similar to being with a best friend. On the other hand, nor epinephrine-driven individuals need a more intense stimulus like getting punched in the face to enter a flow state. Dopamine-driven individuals are carefree and fun-loving, while nor epinephrine-driven individuals are aggressive, stoic, and goal-oriented. Nor epinephrine individuals typically require some level of pain, pressure, or activity engagement before reaching the flow state.
