These are different kinds of flow states but they both represent the same thing: being highly focussed and highly engaged with whatever it is that you’re doing and therefore performing your best.

And this is actually a highly exhilarating experience. Many people describe it as almost euphoric and enlightening: they feel so switched on and so alive because they’re forgetting all of their worries and all of their concerns for that brief amount of time: it’s almost as if they are in a meditative state. They love the thing they’re doing so much that nothing else seems to matter, at least for a time.

And from a neurochemical standpoint, this makes sense too: the brain floods itself with not only focus neurotransmitters (similar to hormones) but also endorphins to make us feel good.

And this is also the state you need to be in if you want to be highly successful. Because countless studies show us that great things happen when you’re in flow. It has been suggested that the vast majority of world records have been broken by people who were in flow states at the time. And it has also been suggested that all the most successful start-ups are in flow too.

Getting to Flow

Getting to this point is all about being highly engaged with what you’re doing and it’s all about loving that thing.

Because flow is triggered by the salience network. This is the part of the brain (the anterior cingulate cortex and other connected areas) which tells us what’s important and what we should be focussed on. It does this via the release of dopamine – the ‘reward hormone’ – which our brains produce in anticipation of reward.

In other words, dopamine tells us that something is important and that it requires our attention. This directs the salience network – the attention network – toward the relevant brain areas. That in turn ensures that we remain focussed on those things and allows our sense of ‘self’ to fade away.

Flow states can occur when we’re in danger. This is why we often enjoy split-second reflexes when we’re snowboarding down the side of a mountain at break-neck speed. When this happens our brain comes alive and says ‘I REALLY need to pay attention to this’.

But when you LOVE what you do, the same thing happens. When you love what you do, the brain says ‘I REALLY need to pay attention’. This time it’s because you’re so engaged with that task and so enraptured by it, that nothing else seems to share the same importance.

Magnetism and Passion

Others can sense this passion and this focus and it sends powerful signals that you are someone highly capable, highly exciting to be around and highly engaging.

Have you ever noticed how some people seem to be highly charismatic? Have you ever met someone who you just instantly wanted to like you? Someone who just won you over and was highly persuasive and interesting?

These are people we consider to be highly charismatic. And where does charisma come from?

Studies show us that charisma is positively correlated with gesticulation: when someone moves around a lot while they talk, when they make lots of hand gestures as they explain someone, when they seem more animated. That’s when they become charismatic, charming and engaging.

Why? Because we interpret this as someone being 100% behind what they’re saying. When they move around and gesticulate, their bodylanguage is congruent with what they’re saying. They appear to really believe it!

And therefore, they become far more engaging and magnetic. We interpret this as: ‘Well if they seem that excited by what they’re saying, maybe I should listen too!’. This could even be explained by mirror neurons: neurons that fire when we witness someone doing or saying something and the same neurons fire in our own brains as though we were doing that thing. When we see someone come alive with passion and enthusiasm, we literally feel that passion and enthusiasm ourselves to some degree!

The Journey

And there’s one more BIG reason that life gets so much better when you find your passion or your drive. That is because you’ll this way discover what it is that you’re really want to accomplish, you’ll have a goal and you’ll have an end point. And when you have that, you’ll know precisely what you need to do. You’ll be able to prioritize and you’ll be able to shoot for the stars.

The human brain loves challenge, it loves growth and it loves forward momentum. When we feel like we’ve achieved a goal – even a small one – we release neurotransmitters and hormones that make us feel good. And this helps the brain to change shape and grow and develop.

But conversely, when we spend every day doing the same thing, it leaves us with no incentive for change. And when you don’t grow, you remain static. And then you decay. This is literally what happens in the brain: if you don’t use your brain to its fullest potential, then it will start to atrophy. It becomes less plastic. And the chemical balance makes us more prone to depression and indifference.

Having something we love to do gives us a goal and a purpose. This gives us a trajectory. And this stops every day from feeling the same. It stops every day from being a slog toward… nothing in particular. And simply having that journey makes us so much happier and more fulfilled.

It doesn’t even matter if you manage to turn your passion into your career. It doesn’t matter if you ever get acknowledgement for it. Simply HAVING that passion and having a goal and a journey… it puts everything else into perspective and it gives life meaning.
