How To Enter A 'Flow' State Of Mind | Think Out Loud With Jay Shetty

1. Connecting with people in a compassionate way puts me in my flow state. 2. The faith that everything will work out no matter how challenging is what keeps me motivated to go forward.

It starts at 9:20 to get the "how to" get into flow.

we are really lucky to have free teachings like this

When I’m talking to people and helping them through their struggles, I realize I can be fully immersed more than working out, more than videography which are both of my passions but Mental Health and allowing myself to be a part of someone’s life and they feel comfort talking to me and I am able to give them guidance is so amazing.

1) An exchange of good ideas and ways to apply them to life motivates me. 2) Dance, running, and reading sends me into the the flow state.

When I'm speaking in front of an audience, my words are not always mine; i am connecting with group consciousnes , and am in flow state. I am totally alert and alive , and full of energy. I have let go of ego and trust

Anyone who has been in love (reciprocal), has experienced flow when they are together; that beautiful, timeless co-creation. So I got to thinking that all of life is a relational journey, so I played with it a little. I tried to practice falling in love with the most simplest and basic of experiences, like my very first cup of tea of the morning, the smell of freshly cut grass, the feel o the sun on my face (yes all those cliché things)... I practice really being still with it and embracing the experience as I would with a loved one. The result? I found the greatest of joy can be found in the smallest of things. I don’t have to be creating... it’s all the same thing... a oneness with being totally present in whatever you choose to experience. That’s on a good day though. I often forget to practice it... A LOT lol.

I was in my flow state while watching the video

I feel at my highest flow state when I am travelling to a foreign country and I am having a heartfelt connection with a local person and hear about their lives.

1. What motivates me is making an impact, be financially free and help those struggling in life to remind them of their greatness 2. sharing wisdom and feeling belonging to a tribe

listening/singing to music, dancing, good dates/flowing convos, art, stand up paddle boarding, free writing when I'm feeling deeply passionate, working out, being in the sun

1. Knowing that everything I do (studying,...) has a purpose and that one day I`m gonna make a huge difference for the people around me. 2. I experience deep enjoyment and creativity when I watch videos (from Yes Theore for example) like this, because I love hearing meaningful quotes ( "The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others." -Mahatma Gandhi) and I feel like there are a lot of topics (optimism, meaning of time, purpose of life, inequality, selflessness,... ), Jay Shetty talks and I start thinking about. I love those kind of deep conversations/speeches/... , that make me reflect on my life and behavior. This makes me hope, that one day everything might get better in the world and it makes me happier and it helped and still helps me through my depression.

i feel immersed when i am having a deep conversation about life and happiness with my friend...

I have always had a passion for working with and helping others. The majority of my academics have been in healthcare or human services. I completed my undergraduates in healthcare administration but found that it didn't give me the scope or fulfilment I was looking for in the helping capacity. I didn't and still don't have the stomach for seeing people injured or hurt. I decided to complete my masters in public health because it just felt right, and I learned a lot about human behavior and statistics across the world. This instilled in me a desire to work abroad. I still felt like I needed to do something so I decided to complete a masters of social work. I feel like this was the final piece of a puzzle to what I needed to learn about myself in order to fully take on the role of helping others compassionately and empathetically as a humanitarian working abroad. It's amazing how life is guiding you if only you have the ability to follow your instincts and not your mind.

When the typical limitations (sleep, eating, fear, etc) drop away because I'm so immersed in applying an idea or concept about how life may work and how it successfully connects to me in my life or someone else's.. and solutions come.. researching and discussing it as we apply it in the moment.. at that point it either makes perfect sense or sometimes it just feels completely wrong for me/them and we can then drop that line of thinking/direction and easily move on with letting the creativity come. I can then write and express it openly, honestly, in a relaxed yet driven state, like I'm painting a picture bringing it all together. Time just disappears. That's my flow.

I once spent 8 hours on a song that I was remixing ...and after i finished i didn't feel tiered at all

I get into flow state whenever I hear Jay speak - he just exudes so much passion and love. My mom adores him too!

What motivates me is the feeling of confidence, connected, and clarity. What gives me deep enjoyment is experiencing nature, when all the noise is off and I am in my own noise box

Creativity, designing, drawing and dancing and running...all exhibits great heightend happiness xxxx Thank you Jay! Loved this wow!

I love painting with a variety of colours. For me that gets me into a zone where I'm completely in flow with being absolutely isolated from the surrounding.
