RE: Entering the State of Optimal Experience (Flow)
Thanks for writing this! I get what you mean, sometimes I wish I can recorded my experience and have anyone replay it and get some of it themselves, at their whim lol. I wish that I'm not that easily distracted - so you have something awesome going on there!
I dunno, perhaps my problem is really just one of being autistic (just never diagnosed) or extremely introverted. In any case, I feel healthy and charged (downright wonderful).
Love your description of the experience here :)
You're welcome and thank you for your compliment:
What you quoted is my life's central conflict, in a nutshell.
On the one end, I feel wonderful and self-empowered. On the other, I feel isolated and disconnected from the world. I generally feel like I can't relate with people that I know, or that know me, and that's part of the fear I feel which causes me to lose flow state (gets me into my head).
I want to be able to help others to feel strong and to live freely, but I often resist being in flow (what I consider to be strength) in the presence of others for fear of intimidating them - I suppose it's actually more a fear of causing them to dislike me than it is a fear of breaking through their comfort zones. Hopefully that makes sense...?
Maybe make it known what you're thinking about the situation? Not sure how'll that pan out though!
Yeah, maybe. Face the fear, head on!
