Great content

Simple Procedure for stress control, motivation, and wellbeing (flow) from affective neuroscience.
In sum:
1) The suppression of mind wandering (using mindfulness or other resting protocols) induces the decreased activity of the covert musculature or relaxation.
2) Relaxation elicits endogenous opioid release or is pleasurable.
3) The continuous experience or expectation of positive and novel moment to moment events (or meaningful behavior) during relaxation increases dopaminergic activity (perceived as a state of arousal) which stimulates increased opioid release, and opioid release will increase or ‘scale’ with the degree of dopamine release that scales in turn with the increased salience of reward. (or opioid-dopamine interactions)
4) This can be observed in natural environments and manipulated in self-control procedure, as outlined below.

Procedure: Continuous and periodic alternation between a resting protocol (e.g. mindfulness) and the pursuit of meaningful behavior will increase motivation and positive affect (arousal and pleasure), and by making meaningful ideation more emotionally salient, will crowd out thoughts leading to anxiety and depression, with the greater the meaning, the more intense the positive affect.

When I get angry and focused I get in the zone not being happy why

I reached flow state when I was in primary school during Inter school athletics tournament, That day I won gold on 100 meter, 200 meter, High Jump, Long Jump, 4× 100 relay...I activated ultra instinct and entered into the speedforce without even noticing anything that is happening in that moment, almost as if I had tunnel vision on each event I participated in.

Like the sport psychology explanation of this video.

Do u think flow is easier achieve with things like music or scilence and true meditation. I know I said to stay off social media like insta and snap which makes sense but do u think music helps or not. Great vid

So I play basketball and I’m skilled at it. I get into flow way too many times by accident than on purpose. Whenever I keep missing, I focus more on what I’m doing and what I could do better, which is how I get into the flow. I also use my anger as an advantage which is my most effective way to get into flow. I hope this helps in a way.

You have a cool last name

Great info! Thank you ❤

I entered the flow while playing against My old academy felt like drowning dribble every singe opponent and shot from ranges I don't know

Hey do you have any tips for when you are playing with a new team and are feeling super anxious and not able to get into the flow state?

Watch 7mlc for the best soccer practice he is incredible

yuji is good at this

i reached flowstate once only 1 time
:(

Me i enter the zone when i dont know. thats my problem i cant enter it just like that

I remember when I was a kid I don't know if it was flow or not but I remember I jumped high up in front of my nephew and mom their Jaw dropped. I don't know if that's a part of flow but everything started to slow down like the movie matrix.

yes

I wants was slow but when I got bullied I run like a god

You can also trigger flow state when entering the realm of the runners high. That means non stop movement and dynamics on the pitch

Your videos are gold

sources?

Really welll put together video!

ngl i broke my flow state from doing my assignments to watch this video.

A good flow of life is a happy life.

can you please write me some "transient hypofrontality" scientific evidence?

should you be in flow state when skill building? Or is it possible to be in a flow state while building skills?

I’ve been in flow states before when the challenge and skill ratio is way off though. The challenge was way beyond my skill level, yet I still reached flow and performed well. Why is this and how could I repeat it?

I find that listening to certain types of music gets me in flow

I reached Flow by doing fast reflex things like video games or catching things in unpredictable situations. We played a school football tornament and everyone including me considered myself as mediocre. Then suddenly i felt like Ronadinho entered my body. Surroundings became vague, you didnt care about the others and just focused on the ball. I scored goals every minute with shooting techniques i only knew from movies. I didnt even aim at the goal because in Flow state your instinct tells you where the most critical situation is. We won the tornament and the football club players even invited me to play with them. Best moment in my life regarding sports.

I think if you want to reach the flow state you can’t try to enter the flow state because it’s an unconscious thought.

Idk why but I feel like I get in the zone way easier when my game is happening during cold weather or rain

Your the man

Time x Behavior = Trust

This reminds me of the time when I was playing soccer for interschool in grade 7, where I was apparently really good in midfield position but I didn't remember anything that happened in the games other than it being super fun

Yep. I can trigger flow in command for about 10 seconds. Although mental preparation is needed while I'm in the game so it's pretty hard to execute.

Hello I need some help, This "ZONE" well previously I had only encountered in, in things such as maths or science class in school however I joined sports clubs and never experienced it there however when lockdown came, I couldn't play and so when I was walking to shops not thinking about anything I would randomly get a vision of myself and my teammates in a game with another team.... everything was quiet and I didn't think I just did and it wouldn't just happen once it would happen like 2-3 times daily and it would switch from basketball to volleyball and back could see all my own and teammates movements and it wasn't previous games or old memories it was new things or situations we haven't been in is this be a deeper state of the "ZONE" or is it something else or is that just it? please help me.
