Or you can lean into the other world you've taught us about.

Pick up a brush and put something on the canvas.

So flow is that state where time stands still, you're in the moment by definition, because that's where you are fully engaged.

And it's a moment where actually you're making energy.

Psychologists will say it's an energy generating moment because it just feels so good.

Dopamine and other good chemicals going in your brain.

And some of this comes from the work of Dr. Lisa Miller from Columbia.

She kind of updated the left brain, right brain model.

We said the right brain was the creative brain and the left brain is the analytical brain.

It's more nuanced than that.

And her model is there's the achieving brain, the transactional brain, and the awakened brain is where we experience flow, where we experience spirituality, where we experience a connection to something bigger than ourselves.

And so all we're arguing for is recognize that there's two things, the transactional, the flow world,

the achieving brain, the awakened brain, and get a little more into, you know, building your whole brain, which is having a balance between the two and being in the flow world and experiencing this awakened sense of yourself connected to the world.

That's when we were more human, right?

So we need both sides of the brain.

We need both awakened and achieving.

We need to be in the transaction world and the flow world.

And we're underpracticed, right, at getting into the flow world.

If you're an athlete, you felt that you're in the zone.

You're in that place where you just know where the ball's going to be.
