What is “flow state”?
Have you ever been so immersed in an activity that you lose all sense of the world around you? Your attention and focus are honed into the experience you are having, and a sense of peace and excitement takes you over completely. You’ve likely heard people refer to this as “being in the zone”, but that can conjure images of hyper focus and fiendish, hypnotic behavior. People experiencing hyper focus may be described as “captured” by a task, often appearing as though they find little enjoyment in the activity they’re doing. While flow state shares some qualities with hyper focus and is characterized by the complete absorption in the ongoing activity, the resulting transformation in one’s sense of time is positive. You lose yourself and move on instinct.
How do I find my flow state?
A common misconception is that you won’t be able to get into your flow state until you have been practicing for months or years, or that you’ll need to know quite a few tricks to show off… Others may say it is something you’ve got to go searching for because it won’t just come to you. That is not true! The moment you pick up that first hula hoop and feel the spark in your soul, you have the opportunity to have a transformative experience.
