Flow is the state in which you feel fully engaged, energised and calm at the same time. But you cannot reach it while constantly thinking about the finish line. The first step is to stop focusing on the result and give your full attention to the performance happening now.
The second is to choose a task that is slightly beyond your current ability, challenging enough to demand your attention, but not so difficult that it overwhelms you. The third is to break the task into individual components. Do not think about playing the entire song.
Focus on executing the next strum correctly, then the next one. Flow is a complete presence. And complete presence requires removing the distractions that keep pulling your mind away from the moment. #FlowState #Focus #Performance #Productivity #Mindset
