Flow can be improved through deliberate practice from "summary" of The Rise of Superman by Steven Kotler
Flow is a state of optimal consciousness where we feel our best and perform our best. It is that perfect moment when everything just clicks, and we are fully immersed in what we are doing. But achieving flow is not just a matter of luck or chance - it can actually be improved through deliberate practice.
Deliberate practice is the key to mastering any skill, and flow is no exception. By engaging in activities that push our limits and challenge us to grow, we can train our brains to enter flow more easily and more frequently. This kind of practice is focused, intense, and requires full commitment. It is not about mindlessly going through the motions, but about pushing ourselves to the edge of our abilities and then pushing a little bit further.
When we engage in deliberate practice, we are not just repeating the same actions over and over again. Instead, we are actively seeking out new challenges and pushing ourselves to improve. This kind of intentional effort is what allows us to break through our limitations and reach new levels of performance. By constantly pushing ourselves to grow and evolve, we can train our brains to enter flow more effortlessly and achieve higher levels of success.
Deliberate practice is not always easy or comfortable, but it is essential if we want to improve our ability to enter flow. By embracing challenges and pushing ourselves to the edge of our capabilities, we can train our brains to operate at a higher level and achieve peak performance. So, if we want to experience more flow in our lives, we must be willing to put in the work and engage in deliberate practice to improve our skills and reach our full potential.
