In this referenced video below, I discuss flow states. I define flow states. Flow states occur while participating in an activity that you really love or are skilled at, that is also challenging. This activity requires intense focus and the outside world does not seem to matter while you are in a flow state. I review a couple of areas of the brain involved in flow states. I discuss the neurotransmitters norepinephrine and dopamine and their actions. I discuss mindful meditation as a preparation to enter a flow state. I discuss the need for appropriate timing; when you personally will be most likely to enter a flow state. I discuss some tricks to avoid leaving the flow state. I talk about the overall health benefits from entering flow states.
