How to activate flow

I found this great clip via Big Think, an interview with Steven Kotler about "The science of effortlessness: How to activate flow".



Let me highlight an ex4mat!ve extract from the interview (follow links in Aqua for more of my blog posts within these topics):


The brain is an inside-out mechanism
Neurobiology

cognitive Peak performance
get our biology to work for us rather than against us
by:
Motivation
Learning
Creativity
Flow


Flow
an opimized state of consciousness
where we feel our best
and we perform our best
.

Mihaly Csíkszentmihályi


the brain does pattern recognition automatically


Flow follows focus...
...the challenge should
slightly exceed our skillset.


Intrinsic motivators
designed evolutionary
Curiosity
Passion
Purpose
Autonomy
Mastery


Start your working day
with 90 minutes focus time


the deep now
or
the eternal present


Flow is universal,
in most mammals.
We´re all designed
for Peak Performance
.


Three tiers of Happiness
normal happiness
engagement & enjoyment
purpose


Evolution is the big driver.
Flow helps us make new resources.


We haver a drug store in our brain

Dopamine = cocaine
Norepinephrine = crystal meth
Oxytocin...
Endorphines = morphine
Serotonin = LSD
Anandamide = THC in marijuana


The easiest way to overcome
heartbreak is to go skydiving


the Bannister effect
you have to believe it is possible,
before it becomes possible


Visualization
a great performance tool
to pre-wire our brain


Positive psychology
what gets you ready to perform at your best
Sleep
Nutrition
