What an incredibly helpful documentary. Recently someone younger but otherwise just like me (adhd, on the spectrum), came into my life and together we excel. I've been revitalised , became active, creative, adventurous and lost loads of weight in a few months. After watching this, it's all making more sense now. I've had a profoundly religious experience, shed vices, and reconnecting with friends "long lost" with new enthusiasm. The chart is so real to me! WOW! Suddenly I got answers I've been looking for for most of my life!

I don’t know what is his profession or level of education but I guess he has either a PhD or MD - he’s the smartest person in KZbin that I regularly watch, and that’s including Neil deGrasse or the Japanese-American astrophysicist that I can’t remember his name now. He is quite versed in psychology, medicine, history, and other subjects, but explains things in an entertaining and humorous way that any ordinary bloke like me can understand.

Actually my "default" state of mind is what I call "semi-meditation". It's a very relaxed - but also totally alert state of mind. The trick is to stop "thinking in words i.e. language". To become an observer of one's own thoughts. Without judging them thoughts at all. Thoughts cannot harm you, right ? Just allow them to "happen" and after a while they will reside and a highly beneficial, peaceful and amazingly relaxing silence will occur in your mind. You'll notice you'll hear, see and smell better than ever before. Yes, one can't hear much if there's lots of "noise" going on in one's mind.. Btw. I got to tell you folks I'm an old guy, almost 71. I'm also a very lucky guy, because I found out what real freedom is. Not what you may think it is.. I found it is: being your own master i.e. being in control of your own mind. To be absolutely honest with yourself, respecting yourself (and others too, of course) and - very important - realizing nobody is perfect, least of all weird old me.. I don't have to be perfect, I only have to be me - and accept life as it is. And that's good enough. One thing I know: this world and universe if infinitely interesting. Sometimes even a little bit too damn interesting.. Aww ! (For those not getting it: in the ancient Chinese civilization is was a curse to wish someone to "have interesting times"). Yes, I'm a retired scholar and I love to read (science, history, etc.) books - and I got a pretty weird and kinda wicked sense of "humor".. Hope you folks don't mind - even like it. Blessed Be - May you all be the very best "you" possible and find true Peace of Mind - within your own.. mind ! ❤😊😊❤

Theres a stream of energy that brings calmness and alertness to your mind and its all about not stressing about things and just living life, instead of worrying about problems make solutions, living life uncomplicated, and not putting too much emphasis on things. Its like being anti anxious and flowing with the dao helps bring what is happening into a more grounded perspective and keeps you sane and grounded too.

As a commercial pilot, I feel as soon as I step foot onto the tarmac, I fall into that “Flow State” mindset. As the fear of a life threatening critical failure or god forbid a pilot operational error could result in certain death. There by engaging this personal perspective of what I can only consider a form of sustained “fight or flight” response within a controlled manner, until I’m relieved of my duty to the aircraft. Your explanation on this rapid influx of performance within our cognitive perception, especially under the presumption of potential danger. Has an oddly familiar tone to that of which I repeatedly experience. Definitely an interesting subject into how our brains function. Thanks for another great video Arran, the Thoughty2 channel never falls short of downright fascinating topics.

Did that all through school. Did fine. But OMG, could I procrastinate! For very good reasons, of course... I think those who do this, may also be good at "creative problem solving", so, we are good at being in situations that require fast-viable-solutions. We do stress, but not in emotional ways, and not excessively. But, by having to condense a whole project into a shorter time, our brains kick-into high-gear, "problem solving" instead of flying apart at emotional hinges....how about you?

Mate, good video. Just a quick personal experience. I suffered from sternoclavicluar joint dislocations then had a cortisone injection in my neck. The dislocation or the injection caused multiple embolic strokes. For years I had a burning pain in my head. One of the GPs I met told me to use magic mushrooms as a microdose. I did and after only 1 week the burning went. The joint and muscle pain along with neuropathic pain is also significantly reduced by this. The morphine and all that stuff just made me sick. Yet, the CBD/THC oil, again as a microdose worked. As a former police officer I would not recommend doing what I did as mushrooms are a class a drug. Yet, I took the unconventional advice from the GP and it's worked a treat.

Awesome vid! Love the concept. A flow-state is what I think of as the times I am so focused and engrossed in a task, that I have no time to think about anything but what I am doing in that moment and the hours just fly by. It could also be reading a book, or binging Thoughty2 videos. I find I need not need the heart-pumping excitement of doing extreme sports or working at a pizza joint during the Super Bowl. I used to get lost in my high-school math and science homework that I wouldn’t feel the need to eat, pee, or take any kind of break from the smooth way my brain was going, enjoying, and learning. Only when I looked up at the clock when I finish would I notice that it’s past midnight already! Flow can be found in almost anything you love to do. Especially binging this channel!

Since it's for me more of an automatic and not conscious experience, it leaves me after with just a thought of: "Where the f** went the time?" and remembering little about the state or work as such. Basically I use it to not notice the mindnumming boredom of the work I got to do.

Whatever your chosen “avenue” for what you’re doing it for, can actually have a very significant impact. May not be as frequent as the quantity engaging along with the duration of time spent, but depending on random occurrences and outcomes, some within the control of the individual and those out of the control (so far out in fact, that there is no chance of prior knowledge) so even if you can accumulate a substantial percentage of a lifetime engaged in your “activity” you can also have it be your very last.. not relegated to being the main cause.. merely acting as an influence to be somewhere an even far more dangerous scenario can occur. That’s an everyday part of life.

As far as "The Flow State" goes I've most often found it on my motorcycle but I've also found that the rate at which the difficulty needed to increase to maintain that state was was rapidly approaching the "get you dead, fast - zone". I was run over once and went back to riding as soon as my bike was fixed. Since then I have not been able to achieve that same focus for longer than mere minutes. I have an extremely dangerous job in the most dangerous city in the US. - this is where the ability to understand what's happening when that focus does kick in, becomes paramount to success.

I've been interested in this subject for a while but I've never really looked into it. It's always intrigued me when I realized that I'd been so focused I lost hours doing something and had very little recollection of doing all I'd done and yet had done so much so well. When I was little it was reading, then it became programming, now it is driving. Well, racing. To me it seems like tuning out and checking in, versus the opposite. I start thinking about everything except what I'm doing, then all of a sudden I realize my brakes are almost metal on metal, my tires are down to the steel, and I've completed 40 laps of a 3.6 mile circuit in just over an hour. Realizing that you've been zoned out for the last hour while averaging 120 miles per hour is frightening but it's perfect. I've always wondered what that state of mind is be called.

The "Flow" was really interesting. I had actually learned about it before, but by a different name and associated with a specific group of people. Those people, being autistics, and the flow being "hyper-focusing" which is something we do naturally when we are doing something we enjoy. I had no idea that it had another name, and was something pursued by athletes while being viewed as another thing that needs to be "cured" about autism

I'd leave it up to the individual in every case to decide whether or not something should be "cured". As long as a person with autism is happy and not hurting anyone else there is nothing to cure. To them, their situation is their version of normal, they shouldn't be so quick to limit themselves or try to be like most people. Unless they are suffering in some way. Autism can be a superpower, I think it should be embraced rather than cured. But society is obsessed with everybody fitting the mold.

One can even enter this "flow" by becoming extremely aware of present time. Instead of focusing on a specific task, you can try to keep yourself in the present time. And yes, that basicaly means you are almost meditating while on the go. The only reason I know this, is because it is one of the required abilities of a good actor. And thus I've been taught this in my high school.

When I was in school, I was a book lover. So I often used to study in between classes. I dint know back then what is flow state but I lost the sense of the noise in class, students chatting, and also I felt time stood by. I used to be so deeply engrossed in studying that once, I carried a book in family picnic and could actually study amidst the noise. Maybe coz in those days my family was an absolute circus, in fighting etc so my mind kind of adopted itself to that noisy restless situation. But it's been years since I could be in that flow state.

This video couldn’t have came at a perfect time. I literally feel like I cant stop thinking about negative things and it’s been really affecting me in many bad ways such as not being able to concentrate on anything, lashing out at those only trying to help me, not being able to sleep at night and just not really caring where I end up in a few years from now. I’m gonna try my hardest to achieve a state of flow that I desperately need right now. I hope I can get there. Thank you so much Thoughty2 for this video 😊

Flow state/mindfulness is achieved when your mind is singularly focused on external stimuli (problem solving, creating, performing) rather than on the mind’s internal stimuli/“chatter”. Meditation seems to still “internal chatter” by either redirecting “inner talk”or by focusing the mind on a single thing. One helpful trick to nudge yourself closer to the Flow state (or out of self-consciousness) is to focus your attention on external stimuli…look at every shape and color around you, focus on the sensory details of the present. Your mind has trouble attending to both your inner-state (“mind chatter”) and your outer state (the world around you). They’re reciprocal…by “turning up the dial” on one them the other is automatically turned down.

Flow is very similar to hyperfocus which is one way for ppl with ADHD to self medicate with the feel good hormone cocktail we lack. Luckily we are usually very curious and passionate making it easy to get in the flow but very difficult to get out of.

Had suicidal thoughts daily and tried to kill myself twice. I tried psychedelics for the first time about three years ago and they completely changed my life. With the help of mushrooms I cured my depression and I've never felt better then I do today. Psychedelics saved my life and they can help a lot of people around the world.

I always in the flow state, I usually let my mind wonder off into my own universe. There I can make my own destiny and change the outcome. Then when I am zone back to reality, I can make better decisions or think of new solutions to problems solving. When in flow state I can see myself outside my body controlling myself as a avatar or sometimes I can zone into a dragonfly, bird, heck even another person mind of thought.

I have a theory, We've spent so many years now making everything idiot-proof that we are now over run by idiots. It use to be idiots were taken out by simple things like sticking a knife in a toaster. Someone decided to stamp on toasters "Do Not Insert Metal Object" so now those idiots are spared. This is one example but you get the picture.

You may not believe this, but many influential ( as in important for a good reason instead of sub surface observations like their skin color or ethnicity ) thinkers have this debate and it's very, VERY controversial. On one hand, we are making things safer and more stream lined for the entirety of Earth's population, but on the other hand it also prevents many of Earth's Darwin Award Recipients from being kicked out of the pool reserved for those that are high in intellect and conscientiousness to the point where nepotism or other archaic hierarchical structures allow these sorts of people into a position of power where they mismanage their Human Resources and overall bring millions of people to their worst times. However, it is obvious that if you de-humanise anyone, you are walking into the traps that so many have fallen into during dictatorships, biggest examples have to be Unit 731 and Auschwitz. Both of which had mostly average and humane people doing unspeakable things to those unlucky enough to be thrown in, just because they have been brainwashed to not perceive them as anything more than a means to an end, to the point where mothers that were turned into subjects at Unit 731 had their children ( and for the most part, babies ) snuffed out right infront of them as any offspring from human garbage is only going to grow up to be human garbage ( according to the propaganda that brainwashed them ). All in all, damned if we do, damned if we don't. I think we should leave the natural selection to nature and not actively manufacture life threatening 'filters' for those that are perceived to be unworthy, because playing god is one of the biggest missteps in humanity that will lead to nothing good.

Same thing with biological life. It used to be that back then, if you lost some teeth, there were no dentists to fix it. So you wouldn’t eat and die. If you were born with some disease, chances were that you would’ve been dead before being able to reproduce and pass it on because nature only wants the smartest and strongest. Modern medicine has conflicted with that.

That's not really a theory. Its called natural selection, and yes, due to us protecting people, we're hindering the process of natural selection. We're passing on bad genes, and technically idiots who lead dumb lives who would've probably died get to teach their kids to follow their lead, though I can't say whether idiots dying would help 'protect society' or lead a better one, or if that would matter in the grand scheme. Though I would say "Don't stick metal in a toaster" is more along the lines of preventing getting sued whenever your 3-yearold tries to jam a fork in it and dies, more than protecting idiots. Idiots will always be abundant. Not sure if letting them die will fix much.

This says I reach my heightened state when the intoxication hits in just right, and for a double digit set of minutes I am free from 21 years of chronic pain, and I agree. This one only little thing to do about it that is available in my country is to enjoy a glass or two of whiskey and wait for effect. I treat myself to this once a month at most because I am a gigantic masochist and have grown rather fond of being blind to physical pain.

a habit can be an addiction and it can also be positive like music helps u focus or the need to clean can help everyone around u anything that u would do without thinking is achieving that state be it gardening or building, focusing or thoughtlessly doing things in a way roughly 60 percent of what we do or say whether it be learned habit or instinctual habit is essential to making you...well you but it depends on the habit if one says something to you depending on your experience or the person saying it it will effect you negatively positively motivationally or debilitatingly maybe there really is no way to define the brain properly do to how many different scenarios can change shape or change who u r how you act or think or believe

I'm 32. As a preteen and teen, i was obsessed with hip hop. I had a studio. I wrote everyday, almost at anytime I wasnt at school. By the time I was 19 or 20, I would have these little freestyles sessions with other artists and after about 20 to 30 minutes, i could feel myself consciousness kind of take the backseat (people say blackout but you are there but all you really see are the words that you are saying or the images or symbols of them in your mind). It would last from anywhere to a couple minutes to half an hour sometimes. You never realize it until you're right out of it.

A method I has used and still use to enter flow state is listening to instrumental music. If you listen to instrumental music as you perform a task you are able to better focus on it. In my youth I loved to play fighting games and I would often use flow state to zone out of the world and focus solely on my opponent. It better increased my reactions and attentiveness to the match. I am also able to use flow state to learn new skills. I hope the tip works for you all aswell, happy listening
