My sparring partner confessed, 'During training, I completely forget about the outside world.' I affirmed that I, too, disconnect from all problems and worries.
This is the nature of jiu-jitsu - the dangerous game pushes everything else aside.
Today, everyone knows about Flow, but not everyone regularly experiences it.
Flow occurs when the level of skill matches the complexity of the task. Otherwise, a person is overwhelmed either by anxiety or boredom.
Apart from jiu-jitsu, I often enter the state of Flow:
When I write an article,
Conduct a session with a client,
Interview an interesting person.
In those moments, I vanish - only my attention remains. Time becomes flexible. The external world freezes, while I soar. Like an arrow released, I am the process of approaching the goal.
It's a delightful state, as it reaches the peak of meaning. Thanks to this, I can reconcile with the imperfections of the world.
Moreover, I make my microscopic contribution to organizing this chaos towards a slightly greater ideal.
My dream is to stay in this state non-stop all day.
And you, in what moments and how often are you in Flow?
Sincerely yours,
-Alexander
