8 Ways To Get In Flow

Do you know how to get your brain and body in flow?

In sports we call it being in the zone. When a baseball pitcher is throwing a no hitter, he’s in the zone or flow.

It’s that state where you are fully present, focused and at ease. There is no effort involved. You loose track of time. 

Writers and artists are in that state when their creative juices are flowing. 

As you get to know your body, you can do activities to help trigger a flow state.

Here are some ways to help you get in flow.

• Movement – stretch, yoga, dance
• Meditation
• Pray
• Daydream
• Journal
• Plan & organize
• Music- listen to it, make it
• Create art

Do any of those pop out at you as a clue to how you can get into flow each day or before tasks you need to be at your most focused or creative self?

For me, it’s movement especially for writing tasks.  I typically have to move my body before I can write. Sometimes journaling will get my creative juices flowing but I get my best ideas when or right after I move my body.  You know I love stretching and Pilates, but dance has always been a part of my life as well.   

Is there something you do to get in flow that isn’t on this list? I’d love for you to share it with me.

And if you have no idea what helps you get in flow, pick one and experiment for a few days and track how your mind and body feel.  Then compare to a different one.

Have fun with it.  The more you practice, the more you can get in flow.  It’ll boost your mood, energy, and add more ease to your day.
