Trigger Flow State in 2 Minutes (Neuroscience Confirms)

追加: 2026-05-31

[00:00:00]This is what your brain is capable of right now. Most people never access it.

[00:00:05]Not because they lack discipline or talent, but because nobody told them where the switch on is. And in this video, finally, you will have it. Stop right now. How many tabs does your brain have open right now? Clients, money, bills, deadlines, family, opportunities.

[00:00:27]If it is more than one, it's the neurological impossible that you can get to flow state. And by the end of this video, you're going to know not only how to close all the tabs and bookmark them so you don't forget them, but also to trigger flow state on command with my 2 minutes activation flow method. There are four triggers that activate your flow state. And the fourth one is what nobody in the productivity industry talks about, but it's the highest recommended for highest performance. And in this video, I'm going to bring it to the next level of your life. You're going to see it. Before we get to science, stop 3 seconds and answer where is your attention going right now? Is it fully here or it is part here, part somewhere else? Because this defines which network is your brain running right now. Miix Mihi the godfather of flow state studied thousands of high performance. He said their brain has two state of mind. Two different switches I call them. The default mode network DMN or the task posit network TPN. The DMN is the part of our brain that activates when we're in wandering mode. I call that wandering mode because you're not focusing specifically on something, but your brain is going between thoughts, switching between things you have to do, having ideas of what you did yesterday, what you will do tomorrow and thinking what should I do right now. So you are not really doing something physically.

[00:02:05]You're not building anything but you are in your thoughts. So basically you're busy but not productive. Then we have the test positive network that activates when we are fully on one thing giving power in distinct attention and most of all we are building something. These two networks are opposed to each other. So they cannot run at the same time. So if you have your phone notification thinking oh this person texted me oh I have an email right now. Oh actually I should call my wife or I should do that.

[00:02:35]So if you're switching this, it's impossible neurologically that you can get to the test positive network. And so if you're running your life only in one switch, what's going to happen? That at some point, have you ever felt I know I'm capable of more, but I don't know how to access that more. Have you constant feeling you know, you can do more, but I don't know how to access it.

[00:02:59]That's really not your fault. is because you are stuck into the te in the to default mode network and the switch now it's so hard to move it to the test positive network and actually that was me years ago in which I learned this the hard way I was running a business I had brilliant ideas don't get me wrong I love what I do and so what happens I basically had marketing clients my business was exploding it was we were in a very growth mode my team was demanding my attention departments were were demanding my attention. I had marketing meetings. I had so many things to do.

[00:03:35]But you know that you're doing a lot but you're feeling like nothing is really closed. All the opportunities are coming but there is no deal really closing at the same time. In that moment I felt I am capable of more but I don't know really what to do. And in that moment I applied exactly what I'm going to teach you in this video. Basically I apply what I teach people and I said my brain is all switched full power to the DMN.

[00:04:04]Now I have to switch back and in that moment I applied twominut protocol my flow state method that allowed me to go back immediately to my clarity to where things are flowing effortless. My team was closing deals. I was focusing on one thing that was very the most important thing and then switched to the other one after one was finished. He was incredible. Incredible. While making this video makes me remind me all of those things and I can't wait that to share with you. The thing is I understood the flow state is not magic.

[00:04:38]It's not something gifted to you, but it is something that you can access anytime you want if you know how. And here are the four triggers that people talk about. But the fourth one, no, nobody talks about. Trigger number one, clear goals.

[00:05:01]This is why to lists never works or they don't work properly. I know this throw people off the chairs when I say it, but your brain cannot enter flow state if it has a vague idea what to do or if there is so many things to do. So your brain can enter flow state only when you're doing one thing and it's specific. So it's not like saying I'm going to make my business better today. I'm going to write my business today, but I'm going to write three paragraphs of this proposal today. So one task, one session, one session, one task. When that happens, your brain knows there is only one tab open instead of many and it loves that. It flows all of your power and your attention on that. So clear goals. Next one, choose the right challenge.

[00:05:58]Your skills has to be slightly lower than the challenge or the challenge has to be slightly higher than your skills that triggers flow state. Now this is the graphic to understand it. Here we have boredom. Here we have anxiety. On this graphic we have your skills here and challenge here. Here is we have high challenge, low challenge, low skills, high skills. Flow state is exactly here.

[00:06:30]If the task is too easy, you get bored here. Okay, see challenge is low and skills are very high.

[00:06:40]What if you have low skills and a lot of challenge? So this will trigger your anxiety. You want to be in flow state slightly above challenge slightly above your skills. So the question you ask yourself is how can I make this a little bit more challenging?

[00:07:02]And one of the best tools I use is time.

[00:07:06]Let's use time as a tool. Instead of saying people do say this, I'm going to do this task in 3 hours. Let's say I have 1 hour to do this task.

[00:07:21]What's going to happen? Your brain is going to find a better way to achieve that goal. Not always the same thing that you was following to do it in 3 hours, but in one hour. This makes it challenging. This makes it harder. And so now you can't wait to pass that level. You can't wait to see if you make it. It becomes also gamified, I would say. And this triggers the fact that if you think about like video games, why do we stay in flow state? Why we are so captured that we cannot listen to other people talking to us? We spend a lot of time or we we lose track of time and space because we're in a flow state and that's what you want to trigger. So give yourself less time for the next task.

[00:08:01]Ask yourself what is the one task I want to have an outcome. Second, how can I make this task in less time? Then number three, no distractions. I know you heard about distractions many times, but research shows that once you have a distraction, it takes you 23 minutes to be back fully focusing on what you were doing. So you could lose 23 minutes to fully focus on what you're going to do.

[00:08:31]And this, by the way, that notification, that phone thing that happened, the email, the client that called you, the employee that knocks on the door, all of those things will make you switch many times until you don't have enough time to finish the things you really want to do. So, protect your focus. And one of the thing that I use with my clients to protect their focus is to negotiate time with the people. Like, I can receive calls at that time. You can come to my office when you don't see you on the door. this do not disturb you can. So there are different ways you can negotiate time. Sometimes I just say to the person that let's say it's urgent for them. Hey, now I'm focusing on something else. I want to give your best attention for the things you're calling for. Can I talk to you at 3 p.m. today?

[00:09:15]Awesome. So they know I'm going to call them. They know they're going to have my undivided attention to them. And so what happens is they wait. They want my attention. So no distractions. And the fourth trigger is right emotional state.

[00:09:31]This is the one that nobody in the productivity industry talks about. I have high performing people saying Kosimo I have a clear goal. I have the right challenge. I have no distractions but still I cannot get into flow state.

[00:09:47]It's because this is missing. Because if your brain is in survival mode, because if there is anxiety or overwhelm, pressure, stress, your brain is in the default mode network, full force, full power. So you cannot switch that to the test positive network in which it's more calm. You're focused and you're doing the stuff that you're doing. Chicks behind calls it the psychic order.

[00:10:15]The opposite of psychic entropy.

[00:10:22]So we don't want entropy. We don't want disorder. We want order, calmness, feeling safe. We are doing this and finishing it. And I have my twominut protocol before you start your session that will reset your brain to psychic order. four steps.

[00:10:43]So I use this every time I have a very deep work session. So number one, close all tabs. Your brain now is running different tabs. As I said, family, maybe bills, maybe clients, marketing, whatever you're thinking of, write all those things that worry, those things that you think, those tasks that you want to do on a sheet of paper. Once you write them down, your brain thinks, "Oh, he have registered this. We don't need to think about this. So, we can just focus on one tab that now he's going to leave open." Second step is necessary, one outcome.

[00:11:20]What is the next outcome you want to have in the next session? If your brain knows immediately when you choose to switch the one outcome you want to have, your brain switches to to the task positive network. You notice your brain is calming down to just focus on that.

[00:11:37]Number three, 448 breath. 448 stands for 4 seconds inhale. 4 seconds you hold the breath. 8 seconds you exhale. So let's do it together.

[00:11:54]Hold it for four.

[00:11:58]Exhaling eight.

[00:12:05]If you do this three cycles, it's going to switch your heart variability rate.

[00:12:11]And so that way you feel more focused.

[00:12:14]It's switching your brain waves from beta to alpha. You become more focused.

[00:12:21]This is important because the 448 breath will maintain longer that state because of your physiology changing and it makes your brain more calm in a peaceful state which is the psychic order. Number four, see the finish line. After you do your breath, close your eyes for 15 seconds and visualize what it would feel like finishing the task. Imagine you just finished the task, just finished what you wanted to do, how you're feeling about it. So don't visualize the work you're doing. Visualize the end. In those 15 seconds, you're programming your brain not only to finish it. You're giving it already that spark, that excitement, that relaxation, that peace that happens after you finish a task, that reward that you feel when you finish a task. And after this, you're going to experience the transient hypoprontality, which is the moment your brain stops worrying, stops doubting.

[00:13:25]It's the part that activates that makes you super focused, super certain, super confident.

[00:13:34]And leave in the comment what is of those four steps that you are not doing.

[00:13:40]And see you in the next video.
