John R. Miles

Every single week, people ask me, John, I want to live in the zone, but I'm overwhelmed.

How do I start?

That's exactly why we create companion workbooks for each episode.

For this conversation with David, the workbook helps you identify your personal flow triggers and navigate the Yerkes-Dawson curve of optimal anxiety.

Because becoming isn't a destination, it's a practice.

You can download all our free workbooks at my sub stack at theignitedlife.net.

Now, a quick break for our sponsors.

Thank you for supporting those who support the show.

You're listening to Passion Struck on the Passion Struck Network.

Now, back to my conversation with David Nurse.

In the book, the person who I profiled on this topic was an astronaut, turned out to be the chief astronaut, Chris Cassidy.

And Chris is a former Navy SEAL.

And he told me he learned this flow state practice when he was going through BUDS.

And he told me for him, I love the tap analogy.

He uses the analogy of a rubber band.

He said, sometimes in life, you're a rubber band that's elastic.

And other times there are moments when you need to learn how to tighten that rubber band.

And it can never be tightened all the time and it can never be loose all the time.

And the real key is how do you trigger yourself, which you're just describing and not many people do of how to make it tight when you need it the most.

And he said helped him when he was in combat.
