45. Why Flow Isn’t Always the Goal — And What to Aim For Instead


Listen Later

On Day 45 (July 26), I reflect on the reality that flow isn’t always the answer — and how chasing it can sometimes pull you away from what truly matters. Flow can be a beautiful state, but it’s not the only measure of alignment or progress.

In this log, I explore:– Why forcing yourself into flow can actually create resistance– The difference between flow and presence– How to recognize when flow has turned into avoidance– Lessons from everyday experiences that reveal deeper truths about pacing– Why micro-pauses and small moments matter just as much as extended focus– Shifting from chasing a state to creating the conditions for it to arise naturally

This is a reminder that you don’t have to be “in the zone” all the time to be on the right track. Sometimes, the most meaningful progress happens in the quiet, seemingly unremarkable moments.
