How to Enter The Zone - Flow State 

Don't think. Feel. - Bruce Lee

everytime I go into flow, my hair spikes up and turns gold

I came here to achieve ultra instinct...thank you

1. Meditate to have consistent flow 2. Do this in reality and don’t think about anything 3. Building confidence, tell yourself you are amazing, trust yourself, don’t second guess, love yourself.

Mike Tyson has been quoted in saying that the closer to the ring he gets the more scared he gets. He basically paralyzes his own sense of logical thinking by making himself feel so much fear of his opponent that once he is in the ring he has almost triggered a fight for life response. But it is also mixed with his ungodly training ways that he would flick a switch and all the fear would leave as soon as he faced off with his opponents. He is the greatest of all time and mastered his body and his mind.

thinking about not thinking is still thinking. the point is not to silence the mind, but to become indifferent to it. just be.

This literally has to be the best video on RU-vid

If you think you're in flow state being in flow you're no longer flow

i only experience this while fighting or sparring against a skilled opponent. things happen in that state that could not be replicated with thought. whats sad is that i look forward too fights, not for winning or losing, but to live in that original moment free of all inhibition.

In short, "Don't be scared, homie!"

I need to listen to this everyday

I am 66 and have watched thousands of try hard BS videos but this video is profound. 17.24 minutes of pure gold. Thanks so much, I am most grateful.

I am an aspiring artist, but for some reason I couldnt put a pencil in my hand... I started questioning myself. Do I really want to be an artist? I'm 23. I finished college and got my license last year, but I was never truly happy of what I've accomplished. I've always liked drawing; creating a world inside my head and putting it on paper. Be a Doctor or be a graphic novelist? I chose the latter, but why can't I fill up a blank paper when I've done it many times before? This video helped me realized that it was the thinking that put me on hold, the overthinking. It made me fear the unknown and uncertainties. thank you MindSmash, for reminding me how it feels to be in the flow state.

"We live in a society that's constantly bombarding us with stimulation and constantly telling us to be afraid of this, be afraid of that and that if you don't get the best grade you're fucked for life. Constant fear perpetuated in your brain keeping you distracted from the moment, always thinking about the past and always thinking about the future and never the present where flow reigns supreme." ~MindSmash

You don't enter the zone.. The zone enters you

I entered the flow many times in my basketball career but I will say it’s one of the hardest sports to contain flow because any mistake a timeout a stop of play can kill your whole flow but then I experienced it naturally while boxing and it felt amazing I hit my friend so hard he just fell it was amazing

if ur thoughts are waves u are the ocean they cant exist without u but u can exist without them

flow is general but its so many things. so many parts of phycology. egotism, love, relaxation, calm, power, aggression. Confidence is trust. trust , what's true is reality vs what you think about yourself. confidence is destroyed by fear. the only way to destroy fear is to ignore the consequences of pain , failure. because all of that doesn't matter. were all just on this speck in the universe. its futile. and that's why its all the matter. I could go on if its wanted...nice vid man

Goku has achieved flow state in ultra instinct: body limbs moving in a state of flow, it's as if time is ticking slower for him, a state of calm laser beam focus. Believing you are in that state already puts you in a position heading towards that state of flow. Not being like goku but rather taking the concept out of it and implementing it in your work or hobby

I started to talk myself out of exercising today, then I saw this....

I remember being in flow state while playing video games. You aren't even focusing on what you're doing or being pressured but you're still playing amazingly.

This is one of the best videos on youtube

I am an elementary school teacher. Flow State should be taught in school. That would be the MOST VALUABLE thing kids could ever learn. Thank you for educating people. You are changing lives. Aloha from Hawaii.

The way you described the walk makes me think that I’m always in flow when I’m alone

The video itself incarnates the flow state. And I feel deeply connected to the message conveyed. Truly sublime art! I will remember it forever (y)

I now comprehend why when I was playing games and didn´t really care about the result I was untouchable, but once I started worrying about things like: "I need 2 more kills to get that archievement" "if I don´t play well we will lose" "I need to make this next movement" I would start playing really bad, thanks for this video, it changed my life, now I want to become a UFC champion and this will help a lot, not just in that sport but in my life in general, the relationships with my friends and family, they will improve because I will become asertive and spontaneous and I will stop caring about what others think about me

The most useful 17 mins of my life..! This has to be the best RU-vid has to offer. ☺️

"Stare at a wall and be content" love it. This is surley possible, still the mind and be at peace.

I can't put into words how much this has helped.. and apparently I shouldn't. :)

you might not realize it but you just save my life, Thank you

I think flow is more intense and rewarding when there is a true risk involved. Fighting would be one. I enter flow state by riding motorcycles on windy roads at spirited pace, where a mistake or loss of focus could end your life. It is a amazing and beautiful experience that is some what addictive. Your mind and senses actually merge into the motorcycle and you become one. I can actually feel the road surface as if I was my own feet. There is no fear and no time for thought, just a flow of muscle memory reactions that happen instantly and automatically with out having to about it.

Best video on flow so far. I've watched this about 6 times now

"He's become a god, god being his flow"-MindSmash

Enter the zone. Autozone!

How is this not the greatest youtube video ever?

Absolutely " THE BEST NARRATIVE VIDEO " IVE HEARD YET. In my 44 years of existence. About flow state . Freaking awesome. Even the ending helps you realize what being in flow does to support your confidence. Really appreciate what you do man Thank you

I really relate to you man. I have a lisp and I will not think about it anymore. I will enter flow. Thank you man.

Finally i found a channel thats on my level of consciousness maybe higher actually higher i want to learn from you brother!

"They'll call you faker" I wonder how many people got that one

I always have that thought “i need to get back to how i was when i was kid” scamper through my mind and never have I heard it articulated in that way. Beautiful.

This is zen philosophy. That "flow state" is represented through zen circle called Ensō

Just found this channel and it is one of my new favourites. Each video contains such wisdom and the fact that you were able to dispense it so fluently without a script is insanely impressive. Huge props.

You brought me back from the overthinking/analysing mindset back to the flow state. To my opinion excessive overthinking is self-loading with unnecessary pressure that wears you down mentally. Thank you

Years ago you wrote me and asked you to sub cause I gave much to respect and knowledge to a person showing their progression in (can't remember the exact art) martial arts and you asked me to check your channel and at the time I was in a busy part of life.... My friend I can't tell you how many times I've watch, showed my friends (that I feel needed "flow" in life) we all lose our flow at imes Hard times become upon us all no matter whom we are.... this is a great representation of trying to believe in yourself... even if you start again.... over and over, this is grounding 🙏🤝 Thank you, for me this is a gift.... even 5 years later 🤝🤝🤝

initially I didn't understand but then it hit me, I enter a flow state whenever I play basketball, Ill often start shooting and once the ball goes in the net I feel like I can literally shoot from anywhere. I have confidence in my craft for how hard I play. Not in a game, but in practice. I play harder when I practice. When it comes gametime I just feel I can shoot from anywhere, doesn't matter whose guarding me, if they aren't athletic/tall enough to block my shot, nothing they do is going to affect me from getting that ball in the hoop. understanding this now, I wanna learn how to enter this state of mind in other aspects of life

12:48 You are in a higher level of awareness. I can feel you up there.

You are not your thoughts, you are the consciousness that is aware of your thoughts. I really enjoyed your flow! Keep up the good work.

I was able to be on a flow state 24/7 for a while while practicing what I read on Eckhart Tolle " The power of now". The presence and intensity that I had during that time was too much. It definitely doesn't help that I was also having a manic episode at the time since I have bipolarity. But I can say that it has been the most surreal and important experience of my life. I am usually an introvert, but for the time that flow state lasted I was extremely charismatic, convincing and I just felt like I could do and I could make anyone do anything. You're so present to the moment that you can almost know what people are thinking, what they want to hear etc. Its almost like having a superpower. I think that since it was so surreal and new, it was just too much to bear and it all came crashing down and I got extremely confused with reality since it just seemed like I was living in an alternate reality when the flow state was happening so I checked myself into a psychiatic hospital. When youre on that state being awake is so awesome that you don't want to sleep because you're afraid you might lose the flow, thats probably what contributed to my confusion after a couple of weeks on that state.

AKA "In the Zone" one with universal flow :) I used to freestyle with my friends when we were young and getting high and shit and i would bust out the sickest lyrics and rhymes i couldn't possibly do if i sat down and tried to write them down. This was a sign that the flow-state was something special and loses its power if you start thinking or trying to use its energy for personal gain instead of just going with the flow and just being in the present moment. And indeed many times in games i enter this state i become untouchable, the energy is so extreme.. makes me so hyped i wanna scream at the top of my lungs for no reason but in a joyful state. Conor vs Aldo, Perfect example of this.

Lol, best video on flow. Reminded me of my Karate tournaments, trying to explain to my friends that I was sitting inside my own body observing it while it fights sounded kinda crazy.

I don’t know if you’ll ever see this but this video changed my life 5 years ago, thank you.

i just come back to this at times. one of your bests for sure, thank you for that! ♡

haha you really know your stuff man you know what your doing. I can see how you leave clues behind in your vids. That indirectly points us to your philosophy. Nicely done.

I follow the Flow...I quickly subscribe....

I have been binge watching your videos while I work both at my job and while working on my own projects. This video has been the key to enter my flow, once in it feels like I'm on autopilot, I feel myself become efficient and motivated and this feeling stays in me even after I Finish. I just want to thank you for your content and know that you are changing so many people with it, allowing them to become mentally strong and be able to reach that next level in life. Thank you for the lessons brother, peace.

Thank you ! Whenever I feel like I'm losing it, I come back to this video and everything gets back into place.

*My favorite MindSmash video ever* ☀🌱💚

When I'm drawing, one thing that can help me going in to the zone is MUSIC, you guys should probably give it a try, it works at least for me 😄 What a great video.

This is probably one of the most beautiful videos I've ever watched

This touched my heart, thank you for this lesson and all the rest of them.

One way to "silence" the brain constantly nagging you is to follow your breath. Don't control it, just be aware of it. Inhale,exhale times X

1 Time on Halo 5 I killed 2 people going across the map in opposite directions with a single Sniper Round to the Head. Best Shot of my Video Game life & was a true expression of Flow. Like I can have 0 kills in this game again & still be like I am Awesome .lol Have Positive, Productive, Successful Day. Brother

Thank you for this. I don't know how many times I've watched this. But I've watched this everyday ever since I first saw this video. It has helped me get into Flow state so many times. Now, it's just automatic sometimes. I tend to be able to enter flow state now without having to force anything. But it doesn't work sometimes, and that's when I watch this video. Then right after I'm able to enter thanks so much man

Thankyou for this. I once entered this state during sparring years ago and dominated my much larger more experienced opponent. Never felt it again and never understood it when trying to explain to my friends and family. What a great state to live your life in. Supreme confidence

Did he just say kill ur self if ur a weirdo?? Lol wtf that threw me off my state of flow lmao

freestyle is everything

I have entered flow state before while studying and I didn't even had knowledge of what was it and I started to do research on it; it feels like the time has stopped, while you're constantly in the movement...amazing how our mind and body can do miracles, we should listen more to ourselves

I have always felt that there was something when I found myself lost in thought or in tune as my late mother used to say. Not until I come across your video I had not thought to apply it to every day life. Thanks for the lesson I have been listening to this audio every time I needed to be reminded

You're soul is old and wise

some zen art of war real talk!!

I was so flow I didn't even realize this video was 17 minutes long it just felt like 2 or 3 minutes. My mind was almost totally silent. All I could focus on was this guy's words and voice. Excellent.

I used to never think, then I wanted to improve in life and then starting thinking about everything this video reactivated my old self and helped me a ton, thank you

You need a spotify channel

mind smash you are so awesome dude I love alllll your videos

You didn’t ruin this video, you just flowed and truely expressed who you are, thank you

My mind was blown. Ty for sharing your flow with us.

Ultra Instinct

Lol, i'm always in flow state when getting my tenth kill in a streak in CoD!

One of the best speeches. Loved the "peace" at the end! 😂

My guy, I really really needed this

I most likely have aspd and what's amazing is that my natural introvert behaviour combined with not caring about what others think and my ability to moderately control my fears, worries and emotions basicaly makes me meditate while walking or in some other tasks, staring at the buildings, their details the trees and the clouds and not thinking about anything and sometimes just walking while forgeting where I should be walking to, it's quite funny when I realize I've been just walking straight for almost 15 minutes just letting my body walk on it's own

Greatly expressed. You really help me teach better 👍

I'm going to watch this video listen to it while I go to work every morning until I master the art of flow. you're an amazing Guru

This video was beautiful, I am just crying. Thank you

ULTRA INSTINCT

Brilliant, absolutely brilliant.

This is one of the most important videos in my life. I will remain grateful.

You must enter the "Ultra Instinct".

Mind I have noticed something odd about this video I can say I been listening and enjoying and embracing this video for a little more than a year as of today and I seen that part of this video is removed the part where you have the little bit of joy that you automatically dismiss into it being awkward that part is missing Ik this is 4 years old but this is one of my favorites from you and I would love to know where the last minute of this video have went thank you 🙏🏾 hope you see this 👋👋

I'm entered flow state for the first time when I was 18.. everything so brilliant, so clear..

Very few things in my life have ever truly changed my perspective on life. I remember accidentally clicking on this video for the first time almost six years ago not sure what to think, it was honestly one of the most memorable and transformative moments of my life. This is truly a special video, thank you mindmash.

"Your thoughts doesnt define you, nobody gives a sht" - tyler durden of youtube

Rage can enter you in flow state. Seriously saying look at angry peoples they r like yes, I'm invincible.

Probably the best video on RU-vid. Completely reflects my view on life. But I forgot to live like that, thankfully you reminded me.

Just watched this video. I'm going to watch this over and over again. Simply amazing.

Please any one tell me where do I can find the track that is playing in background it is so relaxing Please

What role would thinking play in our life if we were always in flow state 100% of the time? I don't get it. Also, we are are habits but when we create new habits that catlyst that drives us is new helpful thoughts. So, in that sense, we are our thoughts. I understand we don't want to be constantly second geussing ourselves but i don't think living life in a 100% flow state where we are totally indifferent to our thoughts is the answer either.

Tears of flow. Keep being who you are. I love you.

I just want to say Thankyou, your a good philosopher and you've been helping me find my flow state and myself, so much respect, thankyou
