How does one enter a flow state? How can you prepare your environment to sustain productive work? Why should you protect your brain?

As Joe was about to start working on his book, he safeguarded his mental clarity by not watching any news, going onto any social media, or doing anything that could regear his brain into a different state than it was in when it was fresh in the morning.

Here are a few safeguard methods:

• Have a nutritious breakfast and take care of your physical health and well-being.

• Create a space to consistently work in when you are wanting to go into a flow-state and keep it the same. Structure a routine for that day or when you are working on that task and stick with it.

• Get creative with drawing and writing with your hand on physical paper or a whiteboard and get analytical by writing on a computer.

In this episode, I speak with Angie Morgan about:

• Protect your brain before you enter a task
• Environment prep
• Use both sides of your brain

What can we learn from what we used to do? Do you explore your options? How can testing ideas help you incorporate them into your life?

Even in college, Joe was already working a four-day workweek and did not take any classes on a Friday. He would work productively and structure his years to save money to travel internationally.

In the beginning, career transitions were off-putting to Joe because they represented becoming fixed on one job with a certain timeline.

Joe started exploring and listening to a bunch of podcasts to find out how other people had strayed from the norm and made a living for themselves doing what they wanted when they wanted.

Joe tested what he was learning from those who he admires and began to slowly incorporate their knowledge into his life until he was able to take the lead and create it how he wanted it to be.

In this episode, I speak with Angie Morgan about:

• College
• Career transitions
• Testing

Does your fear often stop you from pursuing your goals? Is fear only a messenger? Can you trust yourself to look at what is on the other side of uncertainty?

1 – Social fear: being afraid to do something foolish that could get you kicked out of your group or community.

2 – Physical fear: being afraid of physical pain and harm to the body.

3 – Ego fear: being afraid of feeling bad about yourself.

When people look at the reality of the fears and question it, we come to find that the fears are not nearly as big as we think.

Through challenging our fear, we come to find that we catastrophize them. We may be worrying about worrying, instead of feeling anything specific that relates to our current reality.

Question your fear to find what the root cause of it is, gift yourself with objectivity, and move through it towards your goal.

Fear should not stop you from doing anything. Fear is only a messenger that is telling you what is important to you, and that can also be a gift.

In this episode, I speak with Angie Morgan about:

• Three types of fear
• Worrying about worrying
• Look what is on the other side
