Flow and the Personification of Emotions - Troy Erstling
Today we’re interviewing somebody who is a world traveler and expert in flow states. He’s a writer and consultant and has even given a TEDx talk on freestyling. Besides designing his digital nomad lifestyle, he employs a variety of activities to get into a flow state, including slacklining, freestyle rapping, exercising, and meditating. His name is Troy Erstling and he’s an extremely interesting and well-spoken guest. In this episode, Troy shares his thoughts on flow state, how meditation makes you less distractible, resources for productivity, how to set up successful systems for the absence of friction, how to dial in and out of the flow state, and how to maintain the most important relationship in your life. MindHack is a podcast by Cody McLain that seeks to break down successful people's routines, habits, mindsets, and ideologies, scientific studies, and popular books. This is a self-help podcast dedicated to finding out the keys to success, happiness, and limitless productivity.
