Finding Ease in the Chaos: Flow States and Nervous System Healing (Ep 36)

Season #1

In this episode of 'Dreamed It In Real Life,' host Kelly Jackson explores the concept of ease and flow states and their importance in our lives. Building on the popularity of the 'What if it gets to be easy?' episode and last week’s discussion on the nervous system, Kelly delves deeper into understanding and cultivating flow states—those moments of total immersion and enhanced creativity. She explains the science behind flow and emphasizes that flow requires a balance between skill and challenge to avoid boredom or anxiety, underscoring the significance of nervous system regulation for overall well-being and creativity. Kelly also touches on co-regulation, the role of curiosity in managing triggers, and holistic practices to sustain ease. 

 

From the Episode:

  • " I want you to think of flow as that sweet spot where you are totally immersed in what you're doing. Time flies, your creativity soars, and you feel effortlessly alive."
  • "Flow states, they aren't ... random gifts. They are a reproducible state of consciousness that blends focus and passion and challenge."

  • "   ... flow is not this mystical state that's just reserved for gurus. It is a natural function of your brain and body that you can cultivate intentionally."

  •  " So healing your nervous system is the ultimate self-love practice. And I'm here to encourage you to prioritize this work."
  • " Flow loves curiosity, triggers love judgment. And when you judge a trigger: well, I shouldn't feel this way...you get stuck. But when you approach it with curiosity, what is this trying to teach me? ... You open the door back to flow."
  • " And it's not about never feeling triggered. It's about choosing presence over reaction."
  • "   If you, if you want to stay in a state of flow more often, learn to work with your triggers and not to be set off by them."
  • "  ...your body holds energy and unprocessed stress lives in your tissues. It lives in your body. It really does, whether you like it or not, whether you wanna believe it or not, I'm here to tell you that unprocessed stress lives in your tissues."
  • " I deserve to live and work in a clean space."
  • " When you build environments and systems that protect your nervous system, you build a fortress of flow guys, and these structures hold you so that you can soar."
