Speaker 1: Yo, yo yo. What's good brain fam Zayden Cruz. Here
Speaker 1: your weekly dose of realness about life, the universe, and
Speaker 1: everything in between. This week, we're diving deep into something
Speaker 1: that's been on my mind lately. Flow states, ever feel
Speaker 1: like you're actually in the zone, Like time stands still
Speaker 1: and you could conquer Mount Everest while juggling flaming chainsaws. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's flow state, baby. And guess what, It's not just
Speaker 1: some mystical unicorn thing. It's a real brain hack you
Speaker 1: can actually use to level up your life. Forget those
Speaker 1: hustle memes. We're talking about peak performance without burning out.
Speaker 1: First things first, let's get one thing straight. Flow state
Speaker 1: isn't about being constantly on the grind twenty four to seven.
Speaker 1: It's about finding that sweet spot where you're fully immersed
Speaker 1: in what you're doing, feeling energized and motivated even when
Speaker 1: it's challenging. Think of it like that video game Boss Battle,
Speaker 1: you know, the one where you're so focused, every move
Speaker 1: feels effortless and everything just clicks. That's flow state in action.
Speaker 1: Here's the gen z is notorious for being glued to
Speaker 1: their phones, constantly switching between apps and feeds. It's like
Speaker 1: we've got a squirrel brain on overdrive. But here's the catch.
Speaker 1: That constant stimulation actually prevents us from entering flow state.
Speaker 1: Think of it like your brain saying, Yo, hold up,
Speaker 1: there are too many shiny distractions over here, so what
Speaker 1: can we do. Number one ditch the multitasking madness. Seriously,
Speaker 1: you can't pour from an empty cup. Choose one thing,
Speaker 1: focus on that thing and give it your full attention, Like,
Speaker 1: really focus on it. Remember when you were a kid
Speaker 1: building with legos and you completely lost track of time. Yeah,
Speaker 1: tap into that level of concentration. Number two. Find your
Speaker 1: flow triggers. What activities make you lose track of everything else? Music, dancing, coding, writing,
Speaker 1: whatever gets you in the zone, do more of it.
Speaker 1: Identify those activities that spark that fire within you and
Speaker 1: schedule them into your week. Number three, embrace the discomfort.
Speaker 1: Flow state isn't always rainbow and butterflies. It often involves
Speaker 1: pushing past your comfort zone and facing challenges head on.
Speaker 1: Think about it like leveling up in a video game.
Speaker 1: Sometimes you got a grind, Sometimes you gotta face a
Speaker 1: boss battle, but the reward is worth it. Number four
Speaker 1: ditch the negativity your inner critic can be a total
Speaker 1: buzzkill when those negative thoughts creep in. Tell them to
Speaker 1: take a hike, focus on your strengths and celebrate your wins.
Speaker 1: Remember you're capable of amazing things. And finally, number five,
Speaker 1: be patient. Flow state isn't some magic switch you can
Speaker 1: just flip on. It takes practice, discipline, and self awareness.
Speaker 1: Don't get discouraged if it doesn't happen overnight. Just keep
Speaker 1: showing up, keep putting in the work, and eventually those
Speaker 1: flow moments will become more frequent. All right, let's talk
Speaker 1: about someone who totally embodies flow state. Billie Eilish. Remember
Speaker 1: when she was just a teenager spitting rhymes about bad
Speaker 1: guys in heartbreak. That girl went from bedroom recordings to
Speaker 1: sold out stadiums, winning Grammys left and right. Did it
Speaker 1: happen over night? Hell no, It took years of practice,
Speaker 1: honing her craft, ignoring the doubters, and staying true to herself.
Speaker 1: She's not afraid to push boundaries, experiment with sounds, and
Speaker 1: challenge expectations. She's a walking, talking example of what happens
Speaker 1: when you immerse yourself in your passion and let go
Speaker 1: of the need for external validation. Think about it. Billie
Speaker 1: Eilish is basically gen Z Royalty right, and she got
Speaker 1: there by tapping into that flow state, that zone where
Speaker 1: everything just clicked and she was unstoppable. So what are
Speaker 1: we waiting for? Let's unlock our own flow states, level
Speaker 1: up our lives and create something truly epic. Remember you
