How To Enter A 'Flow' State Of Mind | Think Out Loud With Jay Shetty 

1. Connecting with people in a compassionate way puts me in my flow state. 2. The faith that everything will work out no matter how challenging is what keeps me motivated to go forward.

we are really lucky to have free teachings like this

When I’m talking to people and helping them through their struggles, I realize I can be fully immersed more than working out, more than videography which are both of my passions but Mental Health and allowing myself to be a part of someone’s life and they feel comfort talking to me and I am able to give them guidance is so amazing.

1) An exchange of good ideas and ways to apply them to life motivates me. 2) Dance, running, and reading sends me into the the flow state.

When I'm speaking in front of an audience, my words are not always mine; i am connecting with group consciousnes , and am in flow state. I am totally alert and alive , and full of energy. I have let go of ego and trust

Anyone who has been in love (reciprocal), has experienced flow when they are together; that beautiful, timeless co-creation. So I got to thinking that all of life is a relational journey, so I played with it a little. I tried to practice falling in love with the most simplest and basic of experiences, like my very first cup of tea of the morning, the smell of freshly cut grass, the feel o the sun on my face (yes all those cliché things)... I practice really being still with it and embracing the experience as I would with a loved one. The result? I found the greatest of joy can be found in the smallest of things. I don’t have to be creating... it’s all the same thing... a oneness with being totally present in whatever you choose to experience. That’s on a good day though. I often forget to practice it... A LOT lol.

I was in my flow state while watching the video

1. What motivates me is making an impact, be financially free and help those struggling in life to remind them of their greatness 2. sharing wisdom and feeling belonging to a tribe

listening/singing to music, dancing, good dates/flowing convos, art, stand up paddle boarding, free writing when I'm feeling deeply passionate, working out, being in the sun

I feel at my highest flow state when I am travelling to a foreign country and I am having a heartfelt connection with a local person and hear about their lives.

It starts at 9:20 to get the "how to" get into flow.

1. Knowing that everything I do (studying,...) has a purpose and that one day I`m gonna make a huge difference for the people around me. 2. I experience deep enjoyment and creativity when I watch videos (from Yes Theore for example) like this, because I love hearing meaningful quotes ( "The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others." -Mahatma Gandhi) and I feel like there are a lot of topics (optimism, meaning of time, purpose of life, inequality, selflessness,... ), Jay Shetty talks and I start thinking about. I love those kind of deep conversations/speeches/... , that make me reflect on my life and behavior. This makes me hope, that one day everything might get better in the world and it makes me happier and it helped and still helps me through my depression.

i feel immersed when i am having a deep conversation about life and happiness with my friend...

I have always had a passion for working with and helping others. The majority of my academics have been in healthcare or human services. I completed my undergraduates in healthcare administration but found that it didn't give me the scope or fulfilment I was looking for in the helping capacity. I didn't and still don't have the stomach for seeing people injured or hurt. I decided to complete my masters in public health because it just felt right, and I learned a lot about human behavior and statistics across the world. This instilled in me a desire to work abroad. I still felt like I needed to do something so I decided to complete a masters of social work. I feel like this was the final piece of a puzzle to what I needed to learn about myself in order to fully take on the role of helping others compassionately and empathetically as a humanitarian working abroad. It's amazing how life is guiding you if only you have the ability to follow your instincts and not your mind.

Creativity, designing, drawing and dancing and running...all exhibits great heightend happiness xxxx Thank you Jay! Loved this wow!

I get into flow state whenever I hear Jay speak - he just exudes so much passion and love. My mom adores him too!

When the typical limitations (sleep, eating, fear, etc) drop away because I'm so immersed in applying an idea or concept about how life may work and how it successfully connects to me in my life or someone else's.. and solutions come.. researching and discussing it as we apply it in the moment.. at that point it either makes perfect sense or sometimes it just feels completely wrong for me/them and we can then drop that line of thinking/direction and easily move on with letting the creativity come. I can then write and express it openly, honestly, in a relaxed yet driven state, like I'm painting a picture bringing it all together. Time just disappears. That's my flow.

What motivates me is the feeling of confidence, connected, and clarity. What gives me deep enjoyment is experiencing nature, when all the noise is off and I am in my own noise box

I'm on the flow by finding spiritual practice. I can not get enough of that feeling.

Just immersed in your words... and love that Landon Asian accent! Much appreciated!Bless You! Regards from São Paulo, Brasil! :)

Thank you for this inspiration! Jay gives words of clarity and is genuinely encouraging.

When i'm getting information on a topic i'am interested in like this video .

What motivates me is the fact that I have to stay focused to sustain life on this planet and what gives me deep enjoyment is meditating in the morning, paying homage to my ancestors and listening to the birds sing in the morning.

OMG!!! This is the best, most practical, most relatable talk I have ever seen and listened! Thank you so much for this Jay! 🙏💞🙌

I love painting with a variety of colours. For me that gets me into a zone where I'm completely in flow with being absolutely isolated from the surrounding.

Dancing is what puts me in the flow state

Parents can add so much to their children by watching and observing what their little ones gravitate towards even at a very young age. I thank my parents over and over for viewing this in me even when I was a toddler. I loved to create, art/crafting has surrounded me my entire life. This is and has been my bliss for years and even being retired from a few 9-5 jobs now it's still my main focus ...the day I pass on from this world will be the last day I create. So thinking back thru' the years my parents especially my Mother always encouraged me to follow that path, studying art in college had many professors telling me I'd never amount to much because I wouldn't do always what they thought I should be doing ...they almost killed that creativeness in me ...however Mom to the rescue always said ... just do what you like to do ...do it your way. I believed her more than those college professors Thank God! Life is believing in oneself, so many people in my life have called me crazy because I don't follow the norm but like Jay said basically observe things around you and put your spin on it ...that's so very true. Don't try and overthink it ......

You are great. You are fundamentally explaining the real understanding of involvement where we forget even ourself and just be with that particular thing. Great videos. Thank you for sharing.

I feel highly connected and immersed when i discuss topics related to philosophy and literature, also when I listen to a successful creative person .

I flow when I'm listening to music and writing my poetry. It brings me utter joy!!!

Thank you Jay Shetty for sharing some great advice and wisdom!

I love Jay's sharing on the power of teaching..it expands our knowledge..thank you for the revelation! All this while i was thinking i am no expert to even share things i am learning..this message changed my perception..thank you very much ❤

Loving people and creations motivate me,I feel the flow when I am alone,reading ,being among nature.thank you Jay wonderful post ❤️ peace and love always .

Admirable speakers are God's gift to the people. My favourite speaker Jay genius

how can he speak in such a flow without even resting his mouth? His speeches sound so flawless.

When I am by myself in a room with music blaring in my ears and I am writing the next part to my story...I have spent hours doing that and I do not even realise. I only experience sheer joy and content.

When I am cooking I feel flow particularly doing something like making dill pickles, making up a new recipe. I also feel flow when I first wake up from a dream and then write the dream in a journal. When I went to the Grand Canyon I felt flow, a combination of being in an altered state of reality or awesomeness. Also when I write, particularly poetry. I am usually alone and relaxed. I do not seem to be able to feel flow when I am stressed. I love this, never knew what flow was til now. :)

When I'm writing. Suddenly , my hand is writing down things having nothing to do with my thoughts

When 🏊🏾‍♀️’m & mediation 🧘🏽‍♂️in the zone love Jay Shetty. Totally chanced my mind life & got me through my divorce through depression & giving me reason too be happy 😁god bless u Jay 🙏🤟🏾❤️

No I only listen to Jay Shetty. How I found you I do not know but I am so blessed to have found you.

Love, takes me to deep bliss, and ecstasy . very creative.

I teach a high school social and emotional learning class and I use your words a lot when teaching them about loss, resiliency, purpose, and drive. I've taken several students from all F's to all A's and I always start with a high ability, low effort task. You're right, it is very effective. Just have to get them to break their 4-minute mile like Roger Bannister. Once they realize they can do it, they apply even more effort. Thanks for all you do! You're impacting more than just your listeners.

Thank you so much for this knowledge and motivation, I feel more energised watching this!

I experience it when I am writing while listening to music. Music gets me into a flow state and writing is my love.

1. Watching your videos motivates me 2. Helping others makes me happy

POWERFUL, JAY. THANKS FOR BEING THERE.

I feel totally involved when I'm writing music.

My flow is when I’m playing basketball, or sports in general. Thank you for this video!

I'm in the flow right now! I was looking for an image for an article I'm writing. FB Memories just popped up with a photo I took 5 years ago that is just perfect! The next thing that happened is I felt compelled to look at a video of yours. THIS ONE is the one that was presented to me. THAT is synchronicity. THAT is FLOW. Namaste. ❤

I once spent 8 hours on a song that I was remixing ...and after i finished i didn't feel tiered at all

One of the best podcast! Thank you!

This video might just have changed my life. Thank you Jay!

Thanks for being so clear, Jay!

Been blessed to be in flow with teaching, dancing, and when I'm creating as a designer

Thanks Jay, you've managed to bring out the best in me

I'm motivated everyday by the thought "I want me to prove myself that I can "

I have experienced the flow state a few times, when I used to work, and at a concert, where I noticed the singer was having some problem and I took it upon myself to help and joined in on a song that I was not familiar with and I seen those vibrational brilliant musical notes. Spectacular...

When I'm in a positive environment all vibes seems to bring the best out of your being you feel your greatest self when you say yes these are the kind of people where I belong

1. What motivates me is the sense of making difference in the world. 2. I am at the best when I watch this kind of inspired videos or read some inspiring. Thy jay Shetty.

I am a father of four and your words and ora have me listening> I am highly intelligent my self and just recently got sober a couple years back and still have issues like all humans. But these videos help me tremendously in this crappy visual world. Thanks for helping and showing SELF CONTROL..

What motivates me is love, acceptance, and appreciative of my talents.... I get in a zone when I'm emerged totally in what drives me and that's music. Repetition also helps get that engraved in my mind.

What motivates me is the unknown, curiosity

This is brilliant. Just taught me how to start my day.

Lots of blessings to you Jay!

1) Getting to have the opportunity to motivate or enhance someone else experience, motivates me. 2) One of the more interesting ways I’ve found myself in a flow state is when all of a sudden you get to come extremely close to something going horribly wrong. It’s then that you don’t think, you react instinctively and without hesitation. Then afterwards, as almost as if a byproduct of flow, you have a good good laugh. I’ve been able to enjoy some extremely different ways of being in flow my whole life leading up to going into the Marines directly after high school in 2003. Quickly retired out after two years and loosing the majority of the sight in my no dominant eye. From there at twenty years old, I became a skydive addict for the next two years. Doing 100 jumps in the first six months and 450 in the first two years. Now for the shift. I begin working sports retail. Finding a new rush in my very creative communication skills when connecting with the customers. On top of the massive risk in merchandising patterns and excelling in some very serious leadership highs in motivational moments. Four years into retail and blowing minds, I was hit on my motorcycle. Now at twenty six years old, happily married to a wife who’s five months pregnant with a boy and with a eighteen month old son together already. I’m in coma for nearly six weeks on top of paralyzing my dominant arm, lung and a laundry list of other modifications. Thankfully I had several different insurance options keeping me alive on life support and my pregnant wife was amazing at paper work. My recovery was unheard of and what was excelling me then was that at every opportunity I had to beat the odds, I did. With every test that I could find a way shock and awe, I did. My goal was to put everything back to how it was before. I can now see that what I was doing was figuring out how to operate in more of an already familiar flow state. Bypassing the the damaged prefrontal cortex due to enduring a frontal lobe TBI. After a year and a half, my wife divorced me and after two years of working, I decided it was time to take on the next path. Now I’m getting to help patients at a medical dispensary in Sedona. Applying all the skills acquired along this path to do my job. Allowing myself to be in as much of a fully aligned, flow state vortex as possible. Being able to connect and assist here has been an excellent way for me to be a servant of the light and in the most rewarding flow states I’ve ever felt in my life. One Love brother.

I like Jay Shetty. He has good energy.

Thanks Jay you are real teacher

My flow is when I put smiles on people face. Either by giving or encouraging in words. When I’m able to help anytime even at the expense of inconvenience. It gives my this joy I can’t comprehend.

Sitting with my brothers,cooking for them talking knowing that everything is ok and smoking weed and just been in Zen ...makes me happy

Greater video, man. I have learnt a lot of things from the gr8 video. Thanks

awesome video. your each and every word is so much precious. thank you so much.🙏🙏☺️☺️

I get into the flow when a research is discussed and analysed. The euphoria of deciphering the solution is immeasurable. 10 percent.

Putting a smile and hope really motivate me

Great information. Thank you so much. I'm in the process of starting my own business. Listening to you a good year now. You have helped me so much. In love and light-Austria

i feel connected when 1. i dance 2. while treating a patient 3. while making something for someone 4. while cleaning my room i love this guy.. i cant stop editing my comment as i go ahead with the vedio.. i was just thinking, i cannot stay in that state for long and there you just said it

When I am doing anything that fulfils me at a deep level. Skating, surfing, cycling, rock climbing, philosophical conversations, cooking, talking with my girlfriend, deep meditation. Things that generally challenge my coordination, creativity, problem solving, focus and intellect. Any state where the physical aligns with the emotional. But then I can skateboard without flow or I can skate with flow. For me it isn't always about the subject matter, it is about your state of mind going into that subject matter. Is it something that body and mind are both aligned with at that time. As Dr. Joe Dispenzer said, creativity happens when you merge a clear intention with an elevated emotion. Elevated emotion is very important. Without a high vibrational frequency it is hard to get into flow. For me it takes 5 to 10 minutes to get into flow when I meditate, but sometimes much longer if my amygdala is running the show and the Neo cortex is seriously offline. That's my 10 cents! Thanks for the great video. Great information!!

It is a moment like this that I feel totally in my flow. Learning absorbing and listen to there people the have the same thoughts. Thanks

Great delivery. I was passively listening while doing things around the house and thinking, "I know about flow and what it is, why am I listening to this?" But sure enough, there were some golden points Jay brings up that I picked up on listening all the way through. Currently reading THINK LIKE A MONK. Good stuff

Awesome video, Jay!!!

Exactly what I was looking for!

So cool to hear your thoughts on being in the flow state!

1. I feel motivated when I think of my goals that I've set and written down in my journal. 2. My best ideas come up in my mind when I am in complete solitude.

Sewing and embroidery are my happy place. And on the rare occasions when my hubby and I are actually spending time out doing things together.

Awesome 👍 Jay about Flow state ,oneness bless up 🙏❤️ rooted to Love and peace ❤️🙏🏻🌹 my divine Bliss ❤️🙏

Very insightfull! Thank you so much💙

in the month of march I was completely immersed in coding, I was learning this new language called "Python" and I rem I used to practice whatever problem used to hit my mind , i will start articulating that into code , and I had to move on fast in my career so I am currently studying Cloud computing(AWS), I just left practicing python because it was very time consuming and I wasnt able to be with the other stuff. I am btech(CSE) and mba, later onwards when I was working after mba in small firm of IT , I realized my passion is IT, I couldnt realize it throughout my entire college so thats when I decided to take gap and I left the firm and now pursuing studying AWS, and already cracked two of my exams. Lets hope for the best.

I’m motivated when my enthusiasm is matched by someone else... whatever topic.. if the person is engaged and asking questions and there is an exchange then I can share ideas and absorb that persons energy in a positive way.... most people don’t give out... they talk about themselves and never ask about another... I LOVE TWO SIDED CONVOS.

What motivates me is excitement of learning something new but having a deep connection with it and having clock mentally and physically.

THANK YOU JAY SHETTY!!!!

Hello Jay!! Thanks a lot for your outstanding advices and tips, this is helping me a lot! I just have one comment that it's going too fast in general, and I have to pause and rewind to be able to catch all the ideas and assimilate them :) all the best and thx a million!

Thank you Jay .

I experience it when I work on my youtube channel, I love it ! So I decided that I'm going to go full time on my channel, to improve faster and make it grow...

Currently I am in flow state to finding some reality and easy ways to be in this kind of flow state everytime I like; in every work I need !

Thank you very much jay you've change a lot in how i see life.

I feel flow when I am immersed in conversation with my clients. There is a voice that comes through me and it becomes surreal when I open myself to allow it to channel through me to the person I am mentoring.

great content! thank you for sharing

Jay ... Listening to you motivates me ... Thank you

GREAT JOB.. I like these videos! Very interesting

I LOVE that idea to bring My Flow to the work place🙌🏿

I’m in flow state training everyday, although I didn’t enjoying it at all, but when I finished the training I feel so good and with energy.
