From the previous comment, distractions is a big one for me. I find the biggest distraction, bigger than the constant interruptions from my family in our small living space, is my own thinking. Im learning to be aware of the constant stream of irrelevant, unnecessary and counterproductive thoughts. I think that’s the problem with most, if not all, people. I accept that you can’t totally eliminate overthinking but with practice you can learn how to manage it to your advantage, and sometimes you just have to shut it down and take a break, “Recovery”. This is a fascinating conversation. Thanks.

Pillars of Flow would be beneficial for detox and recovery from trauma, self medicating and addiction

I’ve read so many times (eg Steven Kotler, Mihaly Csickszentmihaly) that Flow states require the struggle, or being at the edge of your abilities. I do understand why - that seems to be the process that athletes experience. But there are other ways to get into Flow besides struggle - we do it every day in our T’ai Chi and meditation program. Our process goes to the complete opposite extreme, and entering Flow from complete surrender- or more commonly from distraction.

David, that is such a wonderful antidote, showing there is more ways to flow than just this one.
