In this podcast you’ll find:
- What makes an experience genuinely fulfilling is a state of consciousness called ‘flow’.
- Written by Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi, he uses 4 or 5 different criteria in which doing the activity gives you energy as opposed to taking energy away. In flow, the activity feels like we’re powered with a self-energizing battery.
- In order to discover what your flow is, ask yourself what is it that you love to do so much the only reason you stop is when you’re exhausted?
- Some people know how to access their flow instantly.
- There are different things that can put people in flow. Flow feels very kinesthetic.
- Each personality type has a predictable flow state.
- Knowing your flow state means knowing which mental process your brain favors above others.
- ENPs are difficult to get into flow. The exploration process has you seeing relationships that other people don’t.
- Some people only experience flow when they know they don’t have distractions.
- Knowing when and how you get into flow can explain a lot about your behavior and patterns.
Exercise we recommend in this podcast:
- Sit down and make a list of 3-5 things where you are in a flow state. This can figure out some of your best ideas. How do you get into those activities? How do you get there? What is something I love doing so much, the only reason I stop is when I’m exhausted? Look for the patterns and think how you can deliberately incorporate that into your life.

Hey guys, I loved this one… I call it “The Zone” Both my wife (ESFJ) and I (INTJ) are very in tune with our Flow and how we enter it. I’ve built a business around my flow (phone repair) I love being hands on and when I am doing something hands on, I am “in the zone” and DON’T interrupt me while I am “in the zone” My wife, being the extrovert, won’t shut up when she’s in flow… Our relationship works because we both early on, understood not to interrupt each others flow. You will be hearing more from me… Great episode!
