349. The psychology of flow states

349. The psychology of flow states

You know that feeling when time disappears, your focus sharpens, and everything just clicks? That’s what we often call ‘flow state’ - a powerful experience of total immersion where effort feels effortless. In today’s bonus episode, we uncover what flow really is, how it works, and why finding it might just change how you think about focus and fulfilment.

We explore:

• What the flow state actually is
• The history and psychology behind the concept
• What it feels like, and how to know you’ve reached it
• Why some people find it easier to access than others
• What’s happening in your brain during flow
• Practical ways to find it in your own life
