Flow State
Would love to hear everyone's thoughts, experiences and feedback about Flow State. I will start the discussion off with this:
I came across this recent study supporting how Flow State may be a whole brain phenomenon.
Basically, a fascinating new 2026 NeuroImage study compared brain activity during flow, boredom and anxiety using EEG.
The finding that grabbed me:
During flow, the brain showed the highest overall connectivity, flexibility and complexity of dynamic activity.
Researchers describe flow as a highly adaptable, metastable state, where different parts of the brain remain specialized while dynamically coordinating with one another.
In simple terms, being “in the zone” may not just be a feeling.
It may represent a measurable state where the brain becomes extraordinarily good at working together without becoming rigid.
That raises a question I love:
Do we enter flow by trying harder... or by finally getting ourselves out of the way?
What do you think?
