Which means it's the task's job for me to be present, not my job.

Bingo.

So what I really wanted to learn how to do, we called simple flow, is I can choose to be fully attentive.

I've got to chop these damn onions to make the soup.

And then what I really get onto is the dinner when the people come over at 7 o'clock.

So it's 5.30 now.

I've got to get the soup going.

You know, multitask, put on a Chris Williamson, you know, YouTube while I'm listening, do four things to make the most of it.

I'm supposed to look, whoa, whoa, whoa.

Let's go all the way in on the onion chopping.

That would be a higher level flow, but I've got to get the onions done.

I'm so sorry.

So if I can fall all the way in, like, look, it's going to be 10 minutes.

I'm going to do this in a nice Zen kind of way.

I'm going to really appreciate the knife.

I'm going to actually feel the experience.

I can choose...

To go all in, even if my skill set far exceeds it, I can just choose to be fully present to what I'm doing.

And that allows me to have this fully engaged, calmly detached experience, which is more alive.

I can even try something that's hard for me.
