Flow is focus and it’s chemistry.
When you enter the flow state, the brain releases a powerful mix of neurochemicals.
Dopamine and norepinephrine sharpen attention.
Endorphins reduce pain triggered by cortisol.
Pattern recognition expands with anandamide.
Serotonin stabilizes mood.
They also change how you think, learn, and create.
This is why flow state simultaneously effects three processes:
Motivation increases.
Learning accelerates.
Creativity expands.
These are some of the strongest reward indicators the brain can produce.
Together, neurochemicals improve performance.
They’re what make the flow state feel so desirable.
The brain is training itself to come back to this state.
Once you learn how to access flow, it becomes easier to return to it again and again.

There is no credible consensus in cardiology saying people should stop eating blueberries.
Blueberries are considered a healthy food when eaten normally as part of a balanced diet. The headline is primarily a sensational marketing hook, NOT an evidence-based medical warning.
Create in the Now: From Dream to Enhavim by Sherrie Rose presents a framework for turning big visions into reality by operating across multiple time levels, using the concept of "enhavim" (vision + purpose + mission) to connect long-term goals with present-moment action

@thisisgrantlee I liked this about purpose, and have a similar O. Building great things are hard, and requires missionaries to ride out the inevitable storms to get to sustained and enduring compounding success.
