Finding your flow state might just be the Holy Grail for entrepreneurs.

A flow state can also be described as ‘in the zone’.

In flow, you are immersed in activity.

Your thoughts flow easily and have clarity of mind.

Your intense effortless focus is unbroken.

Time flies.

Flow is joyful and rewarding.

Yet it often seems impossible to access and fleeting.

We are all inspired to find our flow state.

Flow unlocks our core genius – our best work.

To understand how to access our flow state, it is worth considering the three stages of flow.

Struggle

Struggle is the initial frustrating period of unsettled discomfort.

Struggle is a process.

Struggle is extremely frustrating.

Struggle builds.

The discomfort of struggle compounds until we reach tipping point.

Then struggle suddenly and unexpectantly releases.

Release

Following struggle, flow is released.

The barriers and blockers to us finding flow evaporate.

We experience release.

We feel it.

We are now in a state free of struggle.

The tension is gone.

The vacuum is broken.

We feel lighter and think clearly.

Flow

Following release, we now enter flow.

Flow must be harvested.

We need to capitalise on the amazing opportunities within flow.

We never truly know how long flow lasts and what it will yield.

Do not interrupt or exit flow prematurely.

Stay in flow.

Stay in the zone.

Reap the extraordinary benefits of flow, only limited by your imagination.
