I’ve Uncovered What the Flow States Are After 280,880 Minutes
Flow state is the truth state with a twist
When you chase, you not only catch but capture too.
I chased to write better since 23rd June of the covid lockdown year, 2020.
I write good, remarked a few people but I don’t feel it.
Wikipedia defines the flow state as the state which makes you feel good. You are immersed in a feeling of energized focus, full involvement, and enjoyment in the process of the activity.
I finally felt.
I forget things often but after two cups of coffee, five rounds to the washroom, and three hard slaps, I found out why I felt.
You need to have the mindset of helping others.
I always censored my thoughts while writing. I wanted to be perfect by throwing my imperfections out of the gate to the neighbour’s house and show I have a cool life.
I was scared to be vulnerable and tried to look cool.
The mindset is everything. Flow state is the truth state. Flow state doesn’t lead you to truth state. Truth leads you to flow states.
You need to be ready to be vulnerable, to tell the truth. Try to censor it and you end up being bad. You won’t feel what you write.
Flow state needs raw emotions.
Again, the flow state is the true state. Here are some activities that ignite your flow states:
- Reading stories or books. That’s exposure to truth. Exposure to truth inspires you. Inspiration is the courage to face the reality. Facing the reality is to not censor. Not censoring leads to flow state.
- Explaining to a closed one. You don’t lie to them probably because you understand they’ll know the truth somehow anyway.
- Finding images for something. You’ll find at least one image having something to do with nature. Nature is reality and reality is truth. You’re exposed to the truth.
- Listening to music. Exposure to the emotion of truth if the tune or lyrics relates with you to give goosebumps.
- Clean environment. Reality. Truth.
- Writing. You need to think to write. Thinking is perception. Perception is reality. Reality is the truth.
- Not writing. Exposure to nature and reality. Truth.
The real reason you enjoy flow state.
It’s fun to share the truth. Your story is the truth.
Stories are relatable. Relatable means we connect. Relatable means we memorize it.
We enjoy telling stories because stories are truthful and telling truth is fun and easy. Time flows easily, you enjoy it, and the task gets done.
Raw emotion is always fun. Censoring is distracting therefore hard.
When you write the truth without any censoring, you write with fun because you re-feel those raw and real emotions once again.
