That statement is contradicting with Bruce Lees statement: "You will continue to suffer if you have an emotional reaction to everything that is said to you. True power is sitting back and observing everything with logic. "
1. Meditate to have consistent flow 2. Do this in reality and don’t think about anything 3. Building confidence, tell yourself you are amazing, trust yourself, don’t second guess, love yourself.
All this is exactly correct..in the pass when I enter flow it happens ALWAYS . When my mind is thought less and everyone watching me are forgotten in my mind. My eyes are focus on the object or the direction. My hear is and thought are depleted for the moment.
Mike Tyson has been quoted in saying that the closer to the ring he gets the more scared he gets. He basically paralyzes his own sense of logical thinking by making himself feel so much fear of his opponent that once he is in the ring he has almost triggered a fight for life response. But it is also mixed with his ungodly training ways that he would flick a switch and all the fear would leave as soon as he faced off with his opponents. He is the greatest of all time and mastered his body and his mind.
@@pleaseeatmyass6642 Not calling Mike a liar, but it seems as if he doesn’t really understand or is still trying to understand his own mindset back in those previous situations, he has become a lot more introspective as of recent. And so I find he will often come to varying conclusions across multiple interviews discussing the same topics which often happen to be regarding his past.
i only experience this while fighting or sparring against a skilled opponent. things happen in that state that could not be replicated with thought. whats sad is that i look forward too fights, not for winning or losing, but to live in that original moment free of all inhibition.
man I don't think there's anything better than that state. I don't know where that level of creativity comes from, but it's almost like something possesses us beyond our current paradigm of understanding. Nothing is better
MindSmash yes. he spoke of no mindedness and striking at the emptyness of your oppenents mind. much in the way ip man said" a true master is but a mirror and a genuine opponent his reflection."
the only way you can be indifferent to your thoughts is to be self aware. realize that you are not your thoughts and that you don't create your thoughts. the only thing you can do regarding your thoughts is choose what thoughts you pay attention to. everything we do is habit, even the thoughts we pay attention to. depression, anxiety, stress, etc. when you habitually dismiss opinions and concepts, you'll reduce thinking to making decisions.
I am an aspiring artist, but for some reason I couldnt put a pencil in my hand... I started questioning myself. Do I really want to be an artist? I'm 23. I finished college and got my license last year, but I was never truly happy of what I've accomplished. I've always liked drawing; creating a world inside my head and putting it on paper. Be a Doctor or be a graphic novelist? I chose the latter, but why can't I fill up a blank paper when I've done it many times before? This video helped me realized that it was the thinking that put me on hold, the overthinking. It made me fear the unknown and uncertainties. thank you MindSmash, for reminding me how it feels to be in the flow state.
I remember being in flow state while playing video games. You aren't even focusing on what you're doing or being pressured but you're still playing amazingly.
I entered the flow many times in my basketball career but I will say it’s one of the hardest sports to contain flow because any mistake a timeout a stop of play can kill your whole flow but then I experienced it naturally while boxing and it felt amazing I hit my friend so hard he just fell it was amazing
Yea about two days ago i was in it while playing ps4 not sure for how long but around 30s to 2 minutes n as I finally completed my task i was like i was in flow state n i nvr got in it again since that
Actually you can think in a flow state and continue being the flow if the thought is part of the flow; the key is Eminate from flow while thinking, don’t allow thought to become the root of flow-that destroys flow.
flow is general but its so many things. so many parts of phycology. egotism, love, relaxation, calm, power, aggression. Confidence is trust. trust , what's true is reality vs what you think about yourself. confidence is destroyed by fear. the only way to destroy fear is to ignore the consequences of pain , failure. because all of that doesn't matter. were all just on this speck in the universe. its futile. and that's why its all the matter. I could go on if its wanted...nice vid man
The inbeauty of flow is that it isn't special and that all we can all have but what does make flow special is that only some of us show it and understand it. It's important that we not confuse flow with winning. Is flow just good head movement from a long time boxer? A great performance by an athlete isn't necessarily flow. Lando VANNATA has flow. He is immersed in this style and expresses himself . Maybe that it flow...
+Will baggiins Kudos for the Video! Excuse me for the intrusion, I would appreciate your thoughts.

I now comprehend why when I was playing games and didn´t really care about the result I was untouchable, but once I started worrying about things like: "I need 2 more kills to get that archievement" "if I don´t play well we will lose" "I need to make this next movement" I would start playing really bad, thanks for this video, it changed my life, now I want to become a UFC champion and this will help a lot, not just in that sport but in my life in general, the relationships with my friends and family, they will improve because I will become asertive and spontaneous and I will stop caring about what others think about me
larut mrs there is no achievement there is no opponent there is only I there has always been I and forever will be on I am Consciousness I was Consciousness before I was born into this world and I will be Consciousness when I die that's just the attitude you must have towards everything and every situation that is approaching in so-called life
Absolutely " THE BEST NARRATIVE VIDEO " IVE HEARD YET. In my 44 years of existence. About flow state . Freaking awesome. Even the ending helps you realize what being in flow does to support your confidence. Really appreciate what you do man Thank you
I am an elementary school teacher. Flow State should be taught in school. That would be the MOST VALUABLE thing kids could ever learn. Thank you for educating people. You are changing lives. Aloha from Hawaii.
Very few things in my life have ever truly changed my perspective on life. I remember accidentally clicking on this video for the first time almost six years ago not sure what to think, it was honestly one of the most memorable and transformative moments of my life. This is truly a special video, thank you mindmash.
Goku has achieved flow state in ultra instinct: body limbs moving in a state of flow, it's as if time is ticking slower for him, a state of calm laser beam focus. Believing you are in that state already puts you in a position heading towards that state of flow. Not being like goku but rather taking the concept out of it and implementing it in your work or hobby
You brought me back from the overthinking/analysing mindset back to the flow state. To my opinion excessive overthinking is self-loading with unnecessary pressure that wears you down mentally. Thank you
Just found this channel and it is one of my new favourites. Each video contains such wisdom and the fact that you were able to dispense it so fluently without a script is insanely impressive. Huge props.
I think flow is more intense and rewarding when there is a true risk involved. Fighting would be one. I enter flow state by riding motorcycles on windy roads at spirited pace, where a mistake or loss of focus could end your life. It is a amazing and beautiful experience that is some what addictive. Your mind and senses actually merge into the motorcycle and you become one. I can actually feel the road surface as if I was my own feet. There is no fear and no time for thought, just a flow of muscle memory reactions that happen instantly and automatically with out having to about it.
I was able to be on a flow state 24/7 for a while while practicing what I read on Eckhart Tolle " The power of now". The presence and intensity that I had during that time was too much. It definitely doesn't help that I was also having a manic episode at the time since I have bipolarity. But I can say that it has been the most surreal and important experience of my life. I am usually an introvert, but for the time that flow state lasted I was extremely charismatic, convincing and I just felt like I could do and I could make anyone do anything. You're so present to the moment that you can almost know what people are thinking, what they want to hear etc. Its almost like having a superpower. I think that since it was so surreal and new, it was just too much to bear and it all came crashing down and I got extremely confused with reality since it just seemed like I was living in an alternate reality when the flow state was happening so I checked myself into a psychiatic hospital. When youre on that state being awake is so awesome that you don't want to sleep because you're afraid you might lose the flow, thats probably what contributed to my confusion after a couple of weeks on that state.
I was so flow I didn't even realize this video was 17 minutes long it just felt like 2 or 3 minutes. My mind was almost totally silent. All I could focus on was this guy's words and voice. Excellent.
The Redhead Drunkard you have to allow it to enter you first, disengage from the constant barrage of thoughts and emotions and allow the flow to enter your body
Evan JC I managed to make my lisp go away, on your own just practice saying ssss with your tongue in between your two top incisors, soon it will become second nature.
I've made a lot of progress already after this comment was originally posted :) and my lisp is barely recognizable now but this will definitely help me get over it completely. thanks man
Sky Massingill cheers man, I will. Ever since I've put this comment on I have grown so much as a person. Even though my lisp is still there when it comes to pronouncing certain words it's nearly gone for good. I still have to focus on pronouncing, so people can understand me. Also, I used the flow technique to get a girlfriend, yes i worried about how i was going to talk to her when i first met her. Whenever i talk to her my mind enters flow and everything just revolves around her. It's perfect right now, but I still need to carry on with my progress on my lisp. Good luck in whatever you do man, thank you.
I have entered flow state before while studying and I didn't even had knowledge of what was it and I started to do research on it; it feels like the time has stopped, while you're constantly in the movement...amazing how our mind and body can do miracles, we should listen more to ourselves
I always have that thought “i need to get back to how i was when i was kid” scamper through my mind and never have I heard it articulated in that way. Beautiful.
Nicholas CHRYSSAFIS is right, if you are still at the "level" of consciousness where you perceive there are levels of said consciousness then you aren't as far along progressed "level" wise as you believe yourself to be
in other words, quit holding yourself back from flow with this whole consciousness idea and believing yourself further along than others are with their own mental capabilities and understandings. doing so might actually show some advancement in your own progression if you have been stagnant
AKA "In the Zone" one with universal flow :) I used to freestyle with my friends when we were young and getting high and shit and i would bust out the sickest lyrics and rhymes i couldn't possibly do if i sat down and tried to write them down. This was a sign that the flow-state was something special and loses its power if you start thinking or trying to use its energy for personal gain instead of just going with the flow and just being in the present moment. And indeed many times in games i enter this state i become untouchable, the energy is so extreme.. makes me so hyped i wanna scream at the top of my lungs for no reason but in a joyful state. Conor vs Aldo, Perfect example of this.
is it just me or did everything in the video just describe being stoned? letting your subconscious take over and being present in the moment like how tf is that not describing a good ass trip with some quality sativa
Dani Effendi Which is why Psychedelics are used by even the most wisest of people. They reconnect us to that eternal state of being and remind us of what life is really about. But if we abuse them it can backfire 10 fold. Balance is Key, Happy Highs :)
but like.. is it possible to get high too much if the person is productive and motivated deep down? i feel like a person's genuine personality is exposed when they're stoned because their subconscious is taking over so if someone is an actually motivated person they'll be a good kind of stoner right? michael phelps usain bolt etc. eddie bravo i mean come on!
and yes i think you're right about that energy thing because when i do martial arts stoned i'm aware that pain from running out of stamina is just mental so i can shift my focus from negative energy to positive and idk it just works man!
initially I didn't understand but then it hit me, I enter a flow state whenever I play basketball, Ill often start shooting and once the ball goes in the net I feel like I can literally shoot from anywhere. I have confidence in my craft for how hard I play. Not in a game, but in practice. I play harder when I practice. When it comes gametime I just feel I can shoot from anywhere, doesn't matter whose guarding me, if they aren't athletic/tall enough to block my shot, nothing they do is going to affect me from getting that ball in the hoop. understanding this now, I wanna learn how to enter this state of mind in other aspects of life
I have come back to this video over the years, its one of my favorite creations, thank you. Yesterday I finally saw the fantstic movie "Her" starring Joaquin Phoenix. The background soundtrack of this video seemed familiar, because it is indeed "Song on the Beach" by Arcade Fire from that lovely movie. Mindsmash, you are truly one with my spirit, thank you for this.
I have been binge watching your videos while I work both at my job and while working on my own projects. This video has been the key to enter my flow, once in it feels like I'm on autopilot, I feel myself become efficient and motivated and this feeling stays in me even after I Finish. I just want to thank you for your content and know that you are changing so many people with it, allowing them to become mentally strong and be able to reach that next level in life. Thank you for the lessons brother, peace.
Lol, best video on flow. Reminded me of my Karate tournaments, trying to explain to my friends that I was sitting inside my own body observing it while it fights sounded kinda crazy.
Or "berserk" as vikings called it. I love western martial arts WAAAAAAY more than eastern but I've studied both. Its mind boggling how the same technique was developed on the other side of the world before technology existed.
I dont comment ever. I follow you and never comment. But this video changed my life. Thank you so much. The World needs you. More of you (plural). Thank you thank you thank you to Infinity!
haha you really know your stuff man you know what your doing. I can see how you leave clues behind in your vids. That indirectly points us to your philosophy. Nicely done.
When I'm drawing, one thing that can help me going in to the zone is MUSIC, you guys should probably give it a try, it works at least for me 😄 What a great video.
Thank you for this. I don't know how many times I've watched this. But I've watched this everyday ever since I first saw this video. It has helped me get into Flow state so many times. Now, it's just automatic sometimes. I tend to be able to enter flow state now without having to force anything. But it doesn't work sometimes, and that's when I watch this video. Then right after I'm able to enter thanks so much man
Thankyou for this. I once entered this state during sparring years ago and dominated my much larger more experienced opponent. Never felt it again and never understood it when trying to explain to my friends and family. What a great state to live your life in. Supreme confidence
Mind I have noticed something odd about this video I can say I been listening and enjoying and embracing this video for a little more than a year as of today and I seen that part of this video is removed the part where you have the little bit of joy that you automatically dismiss into it being awkward that part is missing Ik this is 4 years old but this is one of my favorites from you and I would love to know where the last minute of this video have went thank you 🙏🏾 hope you see this 👋👋
I find my self in the state of flow when I work which is why I live life by this "If your not learning your standing still" everything has a system a easier way to do something it's those day's when your like wow that day just flew by
1 Time on Halo 5 I killed 2 people going across the map in opposite directions with a single Sniper Round to the Head. Best Shot of my Video Game life & was a true expression of Flow. Like I can have 0 kills in this game again & still be like I am Awesome .lol Have Positive, Productive, Successful Day. Brother
Actually that was some next level irony flow state. He said something awkward right after teaching on how to not be awkward socially by trusting what your saying. On another level he uses the word weirdo, which means he could be telling himself to kill himself, or immediately showing an example by being the example.
I used to never think, then I wanted to improve in life and then starting thinking about everything this video reactivated my old self and helped me a ton, thank you
I most likely have aspd and what's amazing is that my natural introvert behaviour combined with not caring about what others think and my ability to moderately control my fears, worries and emotions basicaly makes me meditate while walking or in some other tasks, staring at the buildings, their details the trees and the clouds and not thinking about anything and sometimes just walking while forgeting where I should be walking to, it's quite funny when I realize I've been just walking straight for almost 15 minutes just letting my body walk on it's own
What role would thinking play in our life if we were always in flow state 100% of the time? I don't get it. Also, we are are habits but when we create new habits that catlyst that drives us is new helpful thoughts. So, in that sense, we are our thoughts. I understand we don't want to be constantly second geussing ourselves but i don't think living life in a 100% flow state where we are totally indifferent to our thoughts is the answer either.
Flow is something which should be cultivated at all moments in life. Every movement of the body and mind is critical to the development of the spirit, so conscious awareness of every subtle motion of one's being is the true key to unlimited vitality.
You've edited this video, I know because I've watched 100's of times. If I had to judge your body of work this video would be the one I'd use. This video was with me at the beginning of my battle and has sustained me throughout. This video is the greatest contribution of any TH-camr ever. Thank you and may God bless you and your journey.
Probably a normal one, I'm guessing black, with those white keys and little black ones. Listening to the music, it sounds like it works and it sounds rather good. Hope this helps.
Wow, the more I religiously come back the better I get. 10 minutes of listening to you in pure meditation. I promise you @mindsmash when I get out of amateurs and get my big boy contract you will be apart of my team
Don't think. Feel.

I need to listen to this everyday
اسمع كلاش انت :)
Yup
Listen to it while walk down the road best feeling
Same
do it
How is this not the greatest youtube video ever?
thinking about not thinking is still thinking.
the point is not to silence the mind, but to become indifferent to it. just be.
not right. I am able not to think about anything and I don't have to force it
How ? Tell me please because I am thinking 24/7 .
the only way you can be indifferent to your thoughts is to be self aware. realize that you are not your thoughts and that you don't create your thoughts. the only thing you can do regarding your thoughts is choose what thoughts you pay attention to.
everything we do is habit, even the thoughts we pay attention to. depression, anxiety, stress, etc.
when you habitually dismiss opinions and concepts, you'll reduce thinking to making decisions.
by feeling sensations in your body
guitardaddy6 so like meditation. You will still have thoughts, just don't follow them, let them pass

jay no
if ur thoughts are waves u are the ocean
they cant exist without u but u can exist without them
well said brother
But what is existence without those waves? The waves is what makes the ocean 'ocean'. Similarly, your thoughts is what makes you 'you'.

Exactly, in order to continue in the flow state you MUST NOT be aware of you success, mistakes are made when you feel pressure from yourself
I have the same goal my friend, good luck for you 👍

Holyyy fucking shit I've been in a flow state, but once I say things out loud, things go bad again
Literally in the same boat. Will see you at the top one day
The video itself incarnates the flow state. And I feel deeply connected to the message conveyed.
Truly sublime art! I will remember it forever (y)

Just found this channel and it is one of my new favourites. Each video contains such wisdom and the fact that you were able to dispense it so fluently without a script is insanely impressive. Huge props.
You are not your thoughts, you are the consciousness that is aware of your thoughts.
I really enjoyed your flow! Keep up the good work.
I think flow is more intense and rewarding when there is a true risk involved. Fighting would be one. I enter flow state by riding motorcycles on windy roads at spirited pace, where a mistake or loss of focus could end your life. It is a amazing and beautiful experience that is some what addictive. Your mind and senses actually merge into the motorcycle and you become one. I can actually feel the road surface as if I was my own feet. There is no fear and no time for thought, just a flow of muscle memory reactions that happen instantly and automatically with out having to about it.
I started to talk myself out of exercising today, then I saw this....
I was able to be on a flow state 24/7 for a while while practicing what I read on Eckhart Tolle " The power of now". The presence and intensity that I had during that time was too much. It definitely doesn't help that I was also having a manic episode at the time since I have bipolarity. But I can say that it has been the most surreal and important experience of my life. I am usually an introvert, but for the time that flow state lasted I was extremely charismatic, convincing and I just felt like I could do and I could make anyone do anything. You're so present to the moment that you can almost know what people are thinking, what they want to hear etc. Its almost like having a superpower. I think that since it was so surreal and new, it was just too much to bear and it all came crashing down and I got extremely confused with reality since it just seemed like I was living in an alternate reality when the flow state was happening so I checked myself into a psychiatic hospital. When youre on that state being awake is so awesome that you don't want to sleep because you're afraid you might lose the flow, thats probably what contributed to my confusion after a couple of weeks on that state.
Holy fuck, have had the same experience
what did you take before that because i think you snorted some type of adderal lmao
I was so flow I didn't even realize this video was 17 minutes long it just felt like 2 or 3 minutes.
My mind was almost totally silent. All I could focus on was this guy's words and voice.
Excellent.

You are in a higher level of awareness. I can feel you up there.
You don't enter the zone..
The zone enters you
...the zone enters you.
The Redhead Drunkard you have to allow it to enter you first, disengage from the constant barrage of thoughts and emotions and allow the flow to enter your body
Only in soviet russia
The zone has entered the chat
Thats gay as fuck
I really relate to you man. I have a lisp and I will not think about it anymore. I will enter flow. Thank you man.
You got this bro, and I'm glad I could be of service, thank you
Evan JC I managed to make my lisp go away, on your own just practice saying ssss with your tongue in between your two top incisors, soon it will become second nature.
I've made a lot of progress already after this comment was originally posted :) and my lisp is barely recognizable now but this will definitely help me get over it completely. thanks man
Sky Massingill cheers man, I will. Ever since I've put this comment on I have grown so much as a person. Even though my lisp is still there when it comes to pronouncing certain words it's nearly gone for good. I still have to focus on pronouncing, so people can understand me. Also, I used the flow technique to get a girlfriend, yes i worried about how i was going to talk to her when i first met her. Whenever i talk to her my mind enters flow and everything just revolves around her. It's perfect right now, but I still need to carry on with my progress on my lisp. Good luck in whatever you do man, thank you.
well done mate :) that's so cool how you can speak in front of a whole audience using flow, hope you keep it up man.
I have entered flow state before while studying and I didn't even had knowledge of what was it and I started to do research on it; it feels like the time has stopped, while you're constantly in the movement...amazing how our mind and body can do miracles, we should listen more to ourselves
I always have that thought “i need to get back to how i was when i was kid” scamper through my mind and never have I heard it articulated in that way. Beautiful.
Finally i found a channel thats on my level of consciousness maybe higher actually higher i want to learn from you brother!
glad you're enjoying my work brother, thank you
Nicholas CHRYSSAFIS is right, if you are still at the "level" of consciousness where you perceive there are levels of said consciousness then you aren't as far along progressed "level" wise as you believe yourself to be
in other words, quit holding yourself back from flow with this whole consciousness idea and believing yourself further along than others are with their own mental capabilities and understandings. doing so might actually show some advancement in your own progression if you have been stagnant
Nicholas CHRYSSAFIS There are levels of consciousness: conscious and unconscious.

AKA "In the Zone"
one with universal flow :)
I used to freestyle with my friends when we were young and getting high and shit and i would bust out the sickest lyrics and rhymes i couldn't possibly do if i sat down and tried to write them down. This was a sign that the flow-state was something special and loses its power if you start thinking or trying to use its energy for personal gain instead of just going with the flow and just being in the present moment.
And indeed many times in games i enter this state i become untouchable, the energy is so extreme.. makes me so hyped i wanna scream at the top of my lungs for no reason but in a joyful state.
Conor vs Aldo, Perfect example of this.
is it just me or did everything in the video just describe being stoned? letting your subconscious take over and being present in the moment like how tf is that not describing a good ass trip with some quality sativa
Dani Effendi Which is why Psychedelics are used by even the most wisest of people. They reconnect us to that eternal state of being and remind us of what life is really about.
But if we abuse them it can backfire 10 fold.
Balance is Key, Happy Highs :)
I noticed when in flow energy is iinfinite? maybe this is why young children run around all day never stopping until bedtime.
but like.. is it possible to get high too much if the person is productive and motivated deep down? i feel like a person's genuine personality is exposed when they're stoned because their subconscious is taking over so if someone is an actually motivated person they'll be a good kind of stoner right? michael phelps usain bolt etc. eddie bravo i mean come on!
and yes i think you're right about that energy thing because when i do martial arts stoned i'm aware that pain from running out of stamina is just mental so i can shift my focus from negative energy to positive and idk it just works man!
initially I didn't understand but then it hit me, I enter a flow state whenever I play basketball, Ill often start shooting and once the ball goes in the net I feel like I can literally shoot from anywhere. I have confidence in my craft for how hard I play. Not in a game, but in practice. I play harder when I practice. When it comes gametime I just feel I can shoot from anywhere, doesn't matter whose guarding me, if they aren't athletic/tall enough to block my shot, nothing they do is going to affect me from getting that ball in the hoop. understanding this now, I wanna learn how to enter this state of mind in other aspects of life
I'll smash you out guaranteed no one can fuck with me in ball
Josh not sure if I believe u did this it feels like u watch the anime kuroko no basket
I have come back to this video over the years, its one of my favorite creations, thank you. Yesterday I finally saw the fantstic movie "Her" starring Joaquin Phoenix. The background soundtrack of this video seemed familiar, because it is indeed "Song on the Beach" by Arcade Fire from that lovely movie. Mindsmash, you are truly one with my spirit, thank you for this.
I have been binge watching your videos while I work both at my job and while working on my own projects. This video has been the key to enter my flow, once in it feels like I'm on autopilot, I feel myself become efficient and motivated and this feeling stays in me even after I Finish. I just want to thank you for your content and know that you are changing so many people with it, allowing them to become mentally strong and be able to reach that next level in life. Thank you for the lessons brother, peace.
Lol, best video on flow. Reminded me of my Karate tournaments, trying to explain to my friends that I was sitting inside my own body observing it while it fights sounded kinda crazy.
This is zen philosophy. That "flow state" is represented through zen circle called Ensō
Nikola Spasojevic I thought it was Mushin?
All the same, all beyond the chatter of the mind, all beautiful temporary states.
Or "berserk" as vikings called it. I love western martial arts WAAAAAAY more than eastern but I've studied both. Its mind boggling how the same technique was developed on the other side of the world before technology existed.
I thought it was Mushin? (Mindlessness)

I dont comment ever. I follow you and never comment. But this video changed my life. Thank you so much. The World needs you. More of you (plural). Thank you thank you thank you to Infinity!
I remember watching this video the year it came out, and these days everyone is speaking about flow state
Enter the zone. Autozone!
Joshua Karki lol Awsome
*Get in the zone, AutoZone*
It's "GET IN THE ZONE"... Dumbass lol 😆
Iloveyou
"They'll call you faker" I wonder how many people got that one
Faker too good
I follow the Flow...I quickly subscribe....
You didn’t ruin this video, you just flowed and truely expressed who you are, thank you
This video made me tear up, from joy. This is perhaps the best way to visualize how to get into flow state. You are a blessing to society Mind Smash.
haha you really know your stuff man you know what your doing. I can see how you leave clues behind in your vids. That indirectly points us to your philosophy. Nicely done.
You need a spotify channel
When I'm drawing, one thing that can help me going in to the zone is MUSIC, you guys should probably give it a try, it works at least for me 😄
What a great video.
Thank you for this. I don't know how many times I've watched this. But I've watched this everyday ever since I first saw this video. It has helped me get into Flow state so many times. Now, it's just automatic sometimes. I tend to be able to enter flow state now without having to force anything. But it doesn't work sometimes, and that's when I watch this video. Then right after I'm able to enter thanks so much man
Thankyou for this. I once entered this state during sparring years ago and dominated my much larger more experienced opponent. Never felt it again and never understood it when trying to explain to my friends and family. What a great state to live your life in. Supreme confidence
You're soul is old and wise
haha perhaps so, thank you for the praise brother
Lin Yen Chin using the word “fag” is for a no minded idiot
Mind I have noticed something odd about this video I can say I been listening and enjoying and embracing this video for a little more than a year as of today and I seen that part of this video is removed the part where you have the little bit of joy that you automatically dismiss into it being awkward that part is missing Ik this is 4 years old but this is one of my favorites from you and I would love to know where the last minute of this video have went thank you 🙏🏾 hope you see this 👋👋
Yeah i have noticed too
One way to "silence" the brain constantly nagging you is to follow your breath. Don't control it, just be aware of it. Inhale,exhale times X
I find my self in the state of flow when I work which is why I live life by this "If your not learning your standing still" everything has a system a easier way to do something it's those day's when your like wow that day just flew by
Bro I watch this video every couple of months it’s changing my life
*My favorite MindSmash video ever*
☀🌱💚
freestyle is everything
1 Time on Halo 5 I killed 2 people going across the map in opposite directions with a single Sniper Round to the Head. Best Shot of my Video Game life & was a true expression of Flow. Like I can have 0 kills in this game again & still be like I am Awesome .lol Have Positive, Productive, Successful Day. Brother
This is authentic living refined and concentrated to the highest level I've ever experienced in a long time
This is my first comment ever which probably means it’s special. This is my favorite video online
Lol, i'm always in flow state when getting my tenth kill in a streak in CoD!
Yea cause ur focused and u don’t care about anything else ur just focused on the thing ur doing that happens to me
Thats amazing!
Would I get a lightning on my eyes?
only if u have beautiful eyes :P
Yea trust me im a doctor
Kuruko no basket
🤣
Did he just say kill ur self if ur a weirdo?? Lol wtf that threw me off my state of flow lmao
Actually that was some next level irony flow state. He said something awkward right after teaching on how to not be awkward socially by trusting what your saying. On another level he uses the word weirdo, which means he could be telling himself to kill himself, or immediately showing an example by being the example.
Yes, which goes to show you that being in the flow state doesn’t make you a good person.
Thank you ! Whenever I feel like I'm losing it, I come back to this video and everything gets back into place.
I used to never think, then I wanted to improve in life and then starting thinking about everything this video reactivated my old self and helped me a ton, thank you
some zen art of war real talk!!
haha glad you enjoyed brother, thank you
I most likely have aspd and what's amazing is that my natural introvert behaviour combined with not caring about what others think and my ability to moderately control my fears, worries and emotions basicaly makes me meditate while walking or in some other tasks, staring at the buildings, their details the trees and the clouds and not thinking about anything and sometimes just walking while forgeting where I should be walking to, it's quite funny when I realize I've been just walking straight for almost 15 minutes just letting my body walk on it's own
What role would thinking play in our life if we were always in flow state 100% of the time? I don't get it. Also, we are are habits but when we create new habits that catlyst that drives us is new helpful thoughts. So, in that sense, we are our thoughts. I understand we don't want to be constantly second geussing ourselves but i don't think living life in a 100% flow state where we are totally indifferent to our thoughts is the answer either.
Kieran Kiley if you are able to obtain the level of enlightenment, you will be in flow state 100% of the time. It’s what I strive to achieve
LOG What do we define as "Enlightenment."
Living in the moment, first understand that both the past and future are contained in the present.
When your taking action. Be in flow.
When your at home. You think.
This is probably one of the most beautiful videos I've ever watched
Probably the best video on TH-cam.
Completely reflects my view on life.
But I forgot to live like that, thankfully you reminded me.
You must enter the "Ultra Instinct".
wait, was the video always this short?
Yeah what happened…it cuts short now?
Please any one tell me where do I can find the track that is playing in background it is so relaxing
Please
I need it tooooo

Flow is something which should be cultivated at all moments in life. Every movement of the body and mind is critical to the development of the spirit, so conscious awareness of every subtle motion of one's being is the true key to unlimited vitality.
You've edited this video, I know because I've watched 100's of times. If I had to judge your body of work this video would be the one I'd use. This video was with me at the beginning of my battle and has sustained me throughout. This video is the greatest contribution of any TH-camr ever. Thank you and may God bless you and your journey.

Wow, the more I religiously come back the better I get. 10 minutes of listening to you in pure meditation. I promise you @mindsmash when I get out of amateurs and get my big boy contract you will be apart of my team
