These quick little shots will help you consistently lead a high flow lifestyle and live life to the fullest.  

Recently the family and I were on a vacation slash home scouting trip to Puerto Rico and I realized that my daily routine for flow was all off. I needed to figure out different ways of how I could keep up a high flow lifestyle even when I wasn’t in the comfort of my own home and familiar daily routine.  

Regular travel may be a part of your high flow lifestyle, so let’s look at how we can use this time beneficially. I think a big misconception that I had at first was that I needed that routine, when in reality the magic happens outside of our comfort zone. We often practice in the comfort zone, honing our skills, but when the situation changes, we are thrown outside of our comfort zone. This is when we do less thinking and are more in the zone, more present to let yourself just handle it without overthinking the situation. ..

 Do you have the Courage to Be Your Entrepreneurial Self? 

 I found this great quote from Erich Fromm about being yourself:  

"If other people do not understand our behavior-so what? Their request that we must only do what they understand is an attempt to dictate to us. If this is being 'asocial' or 'irrational' in their eyes, so be it. Mostly they resent our freedom and our courage to be ourselves. We owe nobody an explanation or an accounting, as long as our acts do not hurt or infringe on them." 

Many times, on our entrepreneurial journey we can forget that we are pioneers and it’s our courage to do the uncommon thing that has gotten us to where we are...

   I think you should architect your free time. It may sound counterintuitive, but you’ll get more out of structuring your free time than letting it dwindle away.  

To stay productive and on top of our game, we need to have a good balance of work and play. We take play and free time for granted and often consider it something that is just leftover for the times when we’ve finished our work. ..

Many people assume that entrepreneurs are hardcore risk-takers. It’s true that there is some degree of risk-taking, and being able to take that leap is necessary, but in reality, I’ve found that a lot of people I’ve talked with actually do a lot of research beforehand.

So a question beginning entrepreneurs often ask is if you’re starting a business should I quit my day job, or should I continue to work my day job and develop my business as a side hustle to start?  ...

   Are you more prone to experience awe and creativity? How can we tap into this unfair advantage?  

There is a quote from Eric Fromm that goes: 

Creativity requires the courage to let go of certainties. 

As business owners, we have to deal with a large amount of uncertainty in life. This pandemic threw us into hyperdrive with keeping up with new information that affected our business and lives in one way or another. I would say that it has probably honed most people’s survival skills...

  Water has such a calming yet powerful effect on our well-being. Here’s how to get the Benefits of a Blue Mind, Even in a Rain Forest 

 Water provides the perfect balance of stability and change, like looking at a waterfall or a calm lake. And this balance of change and consistency allows you to enter a state of involuntary attention or the brain’s default setting. Some call it a mildly meditative state and I consider it a form of micro-flow.

You probably don’t question it, because it’s everywhere, but does it really pay off to focus on a big goal? And are you a lost soul if you don’t have some massively transformative purpose in life? 

I’ve been working on my book for a little while now about work-life synergy and flow as the ultimate personal growth solution. In there, one of the major myths I dispel revolves around all of the media's push for us to have these earth-changing dreams and a purpose that transforms everyone’s life.   

Well, that’s not how my life has unfolded...

Negativity Bias has been studied in a number of different fields and it’s affecting your happiness and quality of life.  “Something very positive will generally have less of an impact on a person's behavior and cognition than something equally emotional but negative.” 

We have all been in the situation where we dwell on the negative, even though many positives surround us...

As an entrepreneur or self-employed business owner, how are you continuing to learn and grow your business?  

Swiss psychologist, Jean Piaget is responsible for developing much of our modern theories of cognitive development. Back in the 1920’s he was studying children and how they learn and came up with two processes at work in cognitive development: assimilation and accommodation...

Have you been forgetting about the importance of awe in your daily life?  

By definition, Awe is “A feeling of reverential respect mixed with fear or wonder.” 

Awe usually naturally happens, but I am encouraging you to create situations where you put yourself in circumstances where awe may happen more regularly...
