Flow state has gotten the reputation of meaning that you’re flowing on your productivity and making head way in your work. It’s a gentler way of say, you’re busy working.
Flow state is a way of being in tune with your energy and letting your energy guide you vs. you guiding your energy.
What does that mean?
Instead of letting the pressure of your to do list and all the “I should” tasks weigh you down, check in with yourself and see where your energy naturally wants to go.
When the anxiety and overwhelm creeps in,
PAUSE
1️⃣ Take a big breath: filling up your lungs 🫁 from the bottom to the up.
2️⃣ Hold for 3 counts
3️⃣ Slowly exhale, until your lungs are empty. Imagine your sending out all the chaotic energy with your exhale.
4️⃣ Repeat that breath 2x
5️⃣ Ask yourself, “where does my energy want to go” or “what’s in alignment with my energy in this moment”
6️⃣ Do that. Maybe it’s to dance, meditate, take a nap, go for a workout, spend time with friends or family, etc.
By following what your energy wants to do, you are opening yourself up to receive more by being productive later, when it matches your energy. You’ll naturally flow into productive mode, after you nurture yourself first.
Try this exercise and let me know how it went for you in the comments.
Save this post and refer back to it when you’re stressed.
The proof is in the pudding.
➡️ 2 weeks I went to visit my family because that’s what I needed. Some good ol’ fashion family time and some hugs from my baby nephew (he is seriously the cutest kid ever!). At first, I felt guilty because I had sooooooooo much work to do. I wanted to reach out to clients, create a new website, and scheduling system. I released those thoughts and carried through with the energetic pull to see my family.
Since, ALLLLLL the clients I wanted to connect with, reached out to me schedule sessions, the time presented itself for me to work on my website and create some new coaching offerings, plus another retreat is brewing. All this natural unfolded without any force for me.✨
