1
When you understand the neuroscience of flow state, you will be able to activate it on demand.
2
And by the end of this video, you are going to be a flow state super focused maniac.
3
I was diagnosed with ADHD when I was younger and focus was something that I always used to struggle with.
4
But when I understood the neurochemical cocktail behind flow and deep work, the cocktail that unlocks the state in your brain where you are focused,
5
creative, and intuitive, it became this formula
6
that i now use on repeat you have a peak performance mode in your brain
7
and i'm going to show you how you can turn it on and
8
if you're new here hi i'm emily also known as em on the brain
9
i am a neuroscientist by training
10
i've got two degrees in neuroscience as well as many years of research experience in the lab
11
i am now a coach to people in over 55 countries all over the world
12
i help them rewire their brain level up and live their best life
13
and that is exactly what I am here to help you do too.
14
So what is flow state exactly?
15
Flow state is complete absorption in what you are doing.
16
And there are actually four psychological characteristics that are associated with flow.
17
The first is having a challenge skill balance.
18
Okay.
19
So whatever it is that you are doing, it can't be boring because that isn't engaging,
20
but it also can't be so hard that you're pulling your hair out
21
and you're super frustrated because that actually creates anxiety
22
and I'm going to tell you a little bit about the neurochemical cocktail in a second and why this matters so much.
23
The second psychological characteristic of flow is having a very clear goal and feedback.
24
So you need to know exactly what it is that you are aiming for.
25
You can't just be sitting down and be like, oh, I don't know what exactly I'm going to be doing.
26
No, you need to have a very clear goal, a very clear outcome that your brain knows it is needing to work toward.
27
The third psychological characteristic of flow is loss of self -consciousness.
28
So this is where you kind of step outside of the ego
29
and you become immersed in what you're doing
30
and you know athletes performers people who have maybe even you
31
if you've been in flow before it sort of feels like you step out of your own way
32
and this energy is just flowing through you
33
and this is actually super helpful because self -consciousness
34
and our ego often gets in the way of creation whereas
35
when we lose this kind of sense of self and
36
when we're fully immersed in what we're doing we really do unlock flow.
37
Psychological characteristic number four for flow state is time distortion.
38
So this is where you're just locked in for hours, but those hours feel like minutes.
39
And the really great thing about flow state is that action starts to feel effortless.
40
Like it feels fun and you are just so immersed in it.
41
You're not having to fight or force.
42
And this is the exact psychological state that I liked to find myself in when I was studying, when I was in school,
43
or when I was working in the research lab or when I'm creating or coaching now.
44
But what's really interesting is what has to change in your brain for you to feel this way.
45
And this is where it starts to get actionable because when you understand what's happening in the brain, you can design a schedule,
46
you can design a sort of protocol that allows you to get into flow at any time.
47
And that is exactly what I'm going to share with you in a second.
48
But first, let's talk about what happens in your brain when you enter into flow state.
49
The first is that certain areas of your brain actually get quieter.
50
So certain areas in the prefrontal cortex and the default mode network have actually been shown to become quieter.
51
Now, why is this important?
52
Well, the default mode network has been found to be active when we are mind wandering, daydreaming, imagining, right?
53
And that's not something that we want to be doing when we are in flow.
54
When we want to be in flow, we want our task positive network to be on we want
55
to be locked in we want to be fully immersed not mind wandering
56
and daydreaming that's actually goes against what we need for flow
57
because i'll explain this more in a second
58
but we actually need to be focused on one clear thing not a bunch of different things
59
if our attention is being pulled in many different directions
60
we are kind of destroying our ability to get into flow
61
and these areas in the prefrontal cortex that have been shown to get quieter are involved in self -referential processing,
62
like self -awareness and being aware of yourself, which we just talked about in order to get into flow state,
63
we kind of need to lose this sense of self.
64
And so if we are monitoring ourself and you're sitting here doing your work and your immediate thought is, oh, and that's not good enough,
65
or that's not going to work.
66
That's not going to be good.
67
If you are monitoring yourself like that, that takes you out of flow so the part of you
68
that is watching yourself do the thing gets quieter
69
which allows you to actually do the thing
70
and now I actually have a fun hack for sort of activating
71
this on demand I like to do this even
72
when I'm creating content and I feel like I'm just getting in my own way like I'm just
73
monitoring myself too much I actually got this from one of my students
74
that I coached that she gave to me and it was really cool when she shared it with me but anyway wave.
75
What she said to do was she actually likes to pull herself up.
76
She imagines sucking her ego out and like plopping them in the chair next to her.
77
And this is something that I like to do now.
78
It's a little practice that I like to do and I feel like I'm monitoring myself.
79
I will literally imagine plucking my ego out and plopping her in the chair right next to me.
80
Like you can sit right there, allow the divine life force energy to flow through me
81
and you can sit right there and then
82
when I'm ready for you to come back
83
but this is really just a sort of fun visualization hack
84
that i have found to be useful so use that
85
and try it out see if it works for you
86
but aside from these brain areas shifting in activity we also see a shift in neurochemistry
87
and this is where it gets really interesting
88
and really applicable first we see an increase in dopamine
89
this is exciting i feel motivated this is fun let's keep going
90
we also see an increase in norepinephrine norepinephrine is involved in alertness and wakefulness, right?
91
Which is important for focus.
92
If you want to be immersed and locked in, you want that norepinephrine buzzing in your brain.
93
We also see an increase in endogenous opioids or endorphins.
94
This is where that feeling of like, this feels good.
95
And these also are responsible for sort of like the pleasure pain access
96
and can help create those feelings of effortlessness that are associated with flow.
97
We also see an increase in anandamide or endocannabinoid signaling.
98
Now, this is really cool.
99
Endocannabinoids are appropriately named actually after cannabinoids.
100
So cannabis binds to cannabinoid receptors all throughout our nervous system and our brain and our body.
101
They're everywhere.
102
And we actually have something called endocannabinoids that bind to these receptors as well.
103
Anandamide is one of them.
104
And so these are associated with sort of like creativity and lateral thinking that if you've ever smoked the plant,
105
you may have had experience with that.
106
And so we have endogenous chemicals in our brain and body that help us to do that too.
107
And in flow, we see an increase of signaling with these molecules.
108
So that is the background.
109
That's the science.
110
But now let's talk about how you can trigger this neurochemical cocktail to activate flow,
111
to activate deep work and feeling fully immersed in what you're doing at any time.
112
And I have actually given this exact formula to my students that I coach.
113
And I had, I remember one of my students came back like a week later after sharing this formula
114
and he had this competition at work and he shared with me
115
that he won the entire competition at work because he used this formula.
116
I use this formula.
117
I live by it.
118
It works every single time.
119
So make sure you have a pen and paper, take notes because you're going to want to use this formula to get into flow state.
120
Step one is to find your edge.
121
Remember we need a challenge to skill balance.
122
So you don't want to be doing something that's going to be super difficult.
123
It's going to stress you out, but you also don't want it to be boring.
124
And so how can you activate this?
125
How can you do this when the tasks are boring?
126
You're like, but I work this job and these mundane things and I am bored.
127
Well, how can you make it a little more challenging or a little more exciting?
128
How can you stretch yourself to make it a little more challenging?
129
Maybe you can put a time restriction on yourself.
130
Maybe you can say, I'm gonna get this amount done in this amount of time, and it's sort of a stretch for you,
131
and you're not exactly sure if you're gonna be able to do it.
132
That is one way that you can sort of make a mundane,
133
everyday, boring task more challenging so that you can actually activate the neurochemicals for flow.
134
But again, if it's too easy, you're bored.
135
You don't get dopamine from that, and you're not going to have a boost in norepinephrine.
136
If it's too hard, you're gonna be stressed, and then the balance of these neurochemicals are gonna be thrown off,
137
and you might feel more anxious or stressed, then enjoy and immerse in what you're doing.
138
So this balance is really important.
139
Flow lives right at the edge of your abilities.
140
Step two is to give your brain one clear target.
141
Multitasking destroys your ability to get into flow.
142
If you are trying to get into flow state and you are also trying to multitask,
143
you are doing two different things and it's not going to work.
144
And that is why flow state maybe isn't something
145
that you're going to try to get into all of the time
146
but maybe you want to curate your schedule and update your calendar
147
and be like this is going to be a time block
148
where I am going to purposefully get into deep work
149
and activate flow that's personally what I like to do
150
but you cannot multitask you cannot have your attention being pulled in all different directions
151
because you need to be fully immersed in one thing you need focused attention on one thing
152
and remember the psychological characteristics of flow you need a clear goal and feedback.
153
So before you get into work, ask yourself, what exactly am I doing?
154
Like what is the goal?
155
The next question that you can ask yourself is what does done look like?
156
Is it at a certain amount of time?
157
You know, when a certain amount of work gets done, that is up to you.
158
But what does done look like?
159
Having that definition of done is really, really important again for that feedback that your brain is going to get.
160
It is really easy to get into flow when you're playing a game.
161
Athletes report getting into flow a lot of the time as well.
162
Why?
163
They have a very, very clear goal.
164
Their attention, hopefully, is focused on the game and the game alone.
165
And when it's not, that hurts their performance, right?
166
But they have a very clear goal and they have feedback.
167
And the feedback is whatever sport they play.
168
In a lot of sports, it's the score, right?
169
So they're getting constant feedback about what is happening
170
and the brain loves that
171
and it helps to kind of be like okay this is the goal
172
and this is the feedback so have your clear definition of what success
173
or done looks like and then finally
174
because the brain loves feedback how are you going to know
175
that you are making progress what does progress look like right having a definition of done is really important
176
but also having a definition of like what is making progress
177
look like a lot of the time the answers to these questions are very simple.
178
We just don't take the 30 seconds to answer them.
179
So choose one task.
180
Put your phone away.
181
Go on.
182
Do not disturb.
183
Get all of the distractions out of sight because you cannot get fully immersed in something that you are constantly leaving.
184
And then the third condition for flow is to increase engagement.
185
Remember, you need wakefulness.
186
You need alertness.
187
You need that norepinephrine flowing through you.
188
You can't just be tired and lethargic.
189
You need to be wide awake for flow.
190
This is why it is sort of reported with athletes and the runner's high, right?
191
Because you are wide awake, you are alert, your body is engaged.
192
And you can do this through novelty, through physical embodiment, like in exercise or with risk.
193
And I personally have discovered that risk can be a great way to boost alertness and get into flow, especially with creative acts.
194
So when I feel like I am, for example, in the past, um, with creating like short form content,
195
when I feel like what I am about to say is maybe a little risky, maybe I am on the edge a little bit,
196
I get into flow and I enjoy creating that content so much more because it is sort of on the edge.
197
Right.
198
And that might be because it is sort of like this challenge to skill balance that I mentioned in number one,
199
but also because it requires physical engagement.
200
It requires your brain to be alert because your brain's like, oh, I'm taking a risk here.
201
I need to be aware of what's going on.
202
But essentially, you want to make the task that you are doing stimulating enough that your brain actually cares.
203
Because if it's not stimulating, it's boring.
204
And if it's boring, you're not getting into flow state.
205
And novelty, physical embodiment, and risk really are the three categories that you can use to make the task more engaging.
206
So with novelty, how can you switch it up?
207
How can you make it feel new? if it's something
208
that you have to do a lot how can you make
209
it feel new maybe you can do it in a new environment maybe
210
you can listen to a different type of music
211
I know personally for me as somebody with ADHD switching up even how you sit can make a difference
212
when I was in the
213
trenches the last like couple of months writing my book before
214
I completed it I would be sitting with like my legs
215
up like this like I was sitting in the craziest ways
216
but it really takes just little things like
217
that to make it more physically demanding to make
218
it feel new to switch it up to kind of like confuse the brain a little bit right
219
and that helps you to get out of your mind to remove
220
that sense of self right but also to make this like embodiment condition work for you
221
so how can you make it new and then the second piece right embodiment how can you make it physically engaging.
222
If it's an active task, if it is like a physical activity, way easier to get into flow for that.
223
But if it's not, it is tried and true process for me.
224
Exercising first thing in the morning is a game changer for getting into flow
225
and for actually being able to get into deep work throughout the day.
226
Waking up your body, waking up your brain
227
and making yourself feel like more alert
228
that is one of the neurochemical conditions for flow exercise boost dopamine
229
and it boosts norepinephrine so that helps you to again have more of those neurochemicals
230
that are involved in the cocktail for flow available to you now
231
if you're not going to exercise maybe
232
this looks like doing like a yoga flow like a little round of yoga flow like in your office
233
you can do this it takes five minutes it's something
234
that i used to do back when i was in my phd
235
and i like didn't have time to work out in the morning
236
i would have to be in lab to run an experiment at like 7 a .m
237
i would do like three morning sun salutations quickly like
238
plowing with it right like
239
that wakes you up you could literally do jumping jacks
240
you can have a five minute dance party you can do breath work there are
241
so many options here that the point is
242
that you have to wake your body up and be physically stimulated
243
and then the last condition of course is risk like i mentioned now you do not have to go skydiving
244
or do something crazy to Thank you.
245
take risks, but you can, you know, post something bold.
246
That can be a risk.
247
Or to, again, make that one clear goal that you are going to be focused on,
248
make it something that you're not really sure you're going to be able to accomplish.
249
That can be a risk.
250
But there are ways that you can kind of make what you're doing a little risky, and that is cognitively demanding to activate flow.
251
Those are the three conditions that are required for activating flow state.
252
Now, let me give you a protocol that puts it all into order.
253
Step by steps, you can do it on demand whenever you want.
254
This is my ultimate flow on command protocol.
255
Follow each of these steps before you need to get into deep focus or just do it in the morning.
256
I personally like to do it in the morning and watch how your brain responds to you.
257
Step one, activate, move your body, do some breath work, do some jumping jacks, wake yourself up.
258
All right.
259
Step two, aim.
260
What is your one specific target and remove all distractions.
261
Get rid of them.
262
Put your phone and do not disturb.
263
Tell everybody around you not to bother you.
264
Tell yourself there is nothing more important.
265
Everything else can wait.
266
This is what we are focusing on right now.
267
Number three, stretch.
268
Make it slightly challenging.
269
Make it slightly demanding.
270
Maybe a little risky.
271
Switch it up maybe make
272
it feel new new music new environment new way of sitting
273
number four disappear give yourself enough time to actually get into
274
flow state don't expect yourself to be able to drop in in like 10 minutes
275
or 20 minutes like don't expect
276
that of yourself give yourself enough time to get into it
277
and actually setting a time limit can be very helpful for
278
that one clear goal so disappear allow yourself the opportunity to become fully immersed
279
and then number five recover come down eat go for a walk have some social activity
280
but most importantly reinforce how good that felt
281
and really wire into your brain what it took for you to get there i was in like the ultimate flow state.
282
I got so much done and it felt so good.
283
And the only reason I stopped was actually because I had to leave for an appointment.
284
So I had to stop and it was a little irritating because I was like, I'm so in flow.
285
I don't want to stop.
286
Um, but I stopped.
287
And then I remember just being in the car on the way to my appointment and just thinking to myself,
288
like, I feel so good right now.
289
I feel so proud of myself.
290
I feel so like activated and just happy right now.
291
And I took a moment i took out my voice memos
292
and i just talked to myself for like 10 minutes and i
293
because i really wanted to wire it into my brain like how good this feels they've actually shown in studies
294
that single pointed focus is inherently rewarding to our brains so
295
if you can get yourself into this state where you are actually fully immersed in what you're doing
296
and focused on just one thing for a solid amount of time
297
that is going to be rewarding to your brain like it is inherently rewarding.
298
And it sucks that society and our phones, like it's training our brains away from being able to focus on one thing.
299
And that's actually removing the thing that is inherently rewarding to us.
300
Like it's removing the thing that makes the brain feel good, which is focusing on one thing at a time.
301
Like that actually makes our brains feel good.
302
So anyway, I sat down and I just like talked to myself for a few minutes,
303
just about how good it felt and how rewarding and fulfilled.
304
Like I felt so fulfilled in that moment after doing that.
305
And again, I just followed the exact steps that I gave to you.
306
I did my morning routine that I've done a video about before.
307
You can let me know in the comments if you want another video, kind of breaking that down in more detail.
308
But I did my morning routine, which involves activating my body and centering myself through meditation
309
and dumping all of the contents out of my brain so
310
that I'm not distracted by thoughts because thoughts can be distracting when you're trying to get into flow state.
311
And I have a whole process for kind of removing the thoughts before I get into it
312
and anyway I got into like just the best flow ever
313
and I have kind of figured out how to organize my schedule
314
and my calendar to be able to activate flow on demand
315
and create days that are like purposefully for getting into flow
316
and doing deep work and it is so rewarding
317
so I highly recommend you try out this protocol and I can't wait to hear how it goes for you.
318
I am also going to be teaching a live free masterclass on the neuroscience of manifestation,
319
sharing my entire protocol for reprogramming your subconscious mind and all of the different components,
320
all the different parts of your brain and nervous system that are involved in a subconscious mind.
321
I'm going to be doing that very soon.
322
So check out the link in the description to RSVP and save your seat for that class.
323
You don't want to miss it.
324
I am also going to be going on tour very soon.
325
There's going to be a link in the description to RSVP for your city.
326
This also gets you on the list to be the first to know when I drop the tickets,
327
which you'll definitely want to be on that list.
328
So check out that link to RCP for your city.
329
And I'm sending you so much love.
330
I believe in you.
331
I'm rooting for you.
332
Get out there and do this protocol because I'm telling you, it will feel so good.
333
You'll feel so proud of yourself and you'll just, you'll be craving it.
334
Like you will be craving deep work when you use this protocol.
335
All right.
336
I'm sending you so much love and I'll see you in the next one.
337
Bye.

O que é a Técnica de Shadowing?
Shadowing é uma técnica de aprendizado de idiomas com base científica, originalmente desenvolvida para o treinamento de intérpretes profissionais. O método é simples, mas poderoso: você ouve áudio em inglês nativo e repete imediatamente em voz alta — como uma sombra seguindo o falante com 1-2 segundos de atraso. Pesquisas mostram melhora significativa na precisão da pronúncia, entonação, ritmo, sons conectados, compreensão auditiva e fluência na fala.
