The second one is the A and that's acceptance.

Are you willing to accept that God has you at the exact spot in life where you're supposed to be?

You're not supposed to be any further ahead right now or any behind.

He's got your feet at the right spot.

That's a big one because a lot of people want to think they should be further than they are when their time hasn't come yet.

And then P is presence.

Are you able to stay present in that moment without ruminating on the past or having anxiety about the future?

And that right there allows them to take away like it's not about that game alone.

It's trusting the process for the goals that they have in a bigger picture.

It's acceptance that no matter what happens, win or lose, made shot, missed shot, you know, that God's got them right where they're supposed to be.

And then it's the presence that they're able to stay present without having to carry the baggage from the past or the future anxieties to come.

So that's the best way.

And just like an all encompassing way of if you want to tap into flow state,

If you can hit those three things and just keep that reminder, that cue of tapping your wrist for the tap in.

I love this.

So I've always been a nerd for flow state and reading Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi, the father of flow, and his eight characteristics of flow, and then Steven Kotler's 22 cues of flow.

I love it, but I've also thought that there's something more, because they just talked about it and when someone was in the state of it, but not how to actually formulaically train it.

And I'd interview these top athletes like Alison Felix, a track star.

And I'd ask her, like, have you ever been in flow?

And I can remember her saying, she's like, yeah, I've been there three times.
