Go through the flow cycle
from The Rise of Superman: Decoding the Science of Ultimate Human Performance by Steven Kotler
How to Apply This
-
Embrace the struggle.
Moving through struggle requires a leap of faith that the effort will soon pay off. -
Take a break.
If you’ve been cramming for a test all day, go for a walk. If the innovation team has been pulling all-nighters for a week, send them out for dinner and a movie. The method is unimportant. The message is relaxation. -
Prepare to feel a bit unpleasant.
Recovery, like the struggle, is a difficult cycle step. Confronting the massive gap between the world-at-your-feet sensation of flow and the subsequent mundane, all-too-human reality isn't always fun. It requires a lot of resilience.
