I'm gonna lay a complex topic on. This is the concept of flow. Have you heard of it? There's a psychologist from the 70s called Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi. I had to actually watch a video on how to pronounce his name. Really long name, 50,000 consonants. Yeah, that's awesome. But this guy invented this concept of flow. And it's the state of mind when you're doing something. I use this picture of looking out from under the water on this card because I was a swimmer growing up. And swimming is one of the ways that you can really get into a state of flow. What how you get there as you choose an activity could be art, music, athletics, anything, writing. And that's an activity that requires you to focus on what you're doing. It requires some level of skill that gives you a level of challenge that's not too hard, but it's not too easy either. And then that can keep your interest and it will really demand your focus, that altered state of flow. Why is this complex? Because a state of flow will build strength in you as a person. You'll be stronger physically, stronger emotionally, stronger intellectually. And they've even done a bunch of studies that show being in a state of flow can reduce your stress. So it's actually good for your heart and for your brain; it's good for everything. Turn off your phone, minimize your distractions, focus on an activity, could be scrapbooking, crafting, making something, all kinds of things. You know what you want to do? Do it. Reflect on that time, feel when you are doing that thing. And that reflection will also help you reinforce the state of flow that you've just been in and get stronger, get healthier, have better well-being, all that good stuff. Hope you have had a great day and good day more.
