“Crazy Busy” Is Not Flow

Spark #103 - Speeding through life is not your optimal state.

---

You can’t feel alive when you’re tense all the time.

The world taught you to move fast.
But all that rushing is keeping you from tapping into your optimal state.

You’ve been trained to override your body.
To power through. To stay productive.
But that speed and tightness disconnects you from feeling fully alive.

Flow is what brings you back.

It’s not just focus.
It’s not just presence.

Flow is full-body activation—mind, body, and senses lit up and locked in.

You’ve felt it:

• Standing on the rim of the Grand Canyon

• Locked in on a project

• Body surfing at the beach

• Laughing so hard you can’t breathe

• Dancing in the middle of the crowd

• Running, breath and feet in sync

• Playing make-believe with a child

• Presenting your idea to the team

• Writing and losing track of time

• Reading a book and disappearing into the story

• Solving something hard—and knowing when it clicks

• Skiing that black diamond—all in.

That’s flow.
No overthinking.
No proving.
No posturing.

Just you—fully in it.

I’ve felt it too—on the ice, in the yoga room, on the main stage.
And after years of studying it, I’ve learned how to get there on demand.

Because once you feel flow, “crazy busy” won’t cut it.
