The idea behind the "energy of flow" is that this state of optimal engagement can create a positive and energizing experience. It often leads to increased creativity, productivity, and fulfillment. Many people seek to find activities and tasks that allow them to experience this flow state regularly.
If you have been in a state of flow, you can easily confirm how good that felt and how optimistic you were. It's a state we all wish we could be in forever, but the fact is, sometimes, we'll have the opposite of that, which is the energy of effort. With the energy of effort, things feel like an uphill climb.
In this episode, we share our experiences with the energy of flow and effort, how we reclaimed our power from the energy of effort, and how you can quickly achieve the energy of flow. Listen in and learn.

"When you're constantly feeling like you're hitting a wall, or you're not making progress, it's the energy or it's the universe showing that you need to redirect your energy elsewhere."
"A lot of good things can be manifested from that frequency that people run at when they're in the state of flow."
