FLOW
Flow is an optimal state of consciousness where we feel our best and perform our best. Flow states are those moments when we feel most alive. They are those peak experiences of mindfulness and hyper-focus, where the self and inner critic vanishes, time flies, and performance and fulfillment goes through the roof.
Things like creativity, idea generation, learning, motivation, and productivity all become highly accelerated and optimized (increasing upwards of 500% according to one recent McKinsey study)!
I view flow as the lens with which we find meaning, purpose, happiness and fulfillment in our lives. It’s the things that bring us most alive - and isn’t that what we are all looking for??
I do workshops and speak about flow and when I have free time, I’m either pursuing flow states or researching optimal performance. I’ve been lucky enough to train with some of the world’s leading peak performance organizations and thought leaders, and I’m a certified flow professional (yes believe it or not that exists 😉 ).
I specialize in helping companies and individuals build more flow into their day to day lives.
Below, you’ll find a list of my favorite resources and links within the flow, neuroscience, and peak performance realms. If you have anything to add, let me know I’m always down to chat.
Happy flowing amigos!
