How to survive the storms in your life and your relationship

In this episode of God, Money & Purpose, Raul and Vivian are in from the storm. During the recent hurricane that swept Connecticut, a tree fell right into their pool. They were fortunate, because the damage was only property, and no one was hurt, even though they were startled by the crash.

So, for the time being, where they lay their head is home, wherever they have each other and their children is home. The storm, in a literal sense, gives them an opportunity to reflect on the metaphorical storms in our life that we face constantly. The storm is strong, and so we must be stronger than the storm.

How To Tap Into Flow State

Flow state, sometimes called “In the zone” or “Playing in the pocket,” refers to a heightened brain state where you are at your maximum potential. It’s the real-life “limitless.” In this state, your brain is flooded with a potent cocktail of chemicals that focus your brain completely on the task at hand, feel best, and bring out your best mental and physical performance.

This state is elusive, but the more you are in flow state, the easier it will be to get in it again.

Here are 5 steps you can take to tap into flow more often and more easily.

1- Find the triggers that put you in flow state, and write them down.
Examples of triggers include silence, being in nature, anticipation, excitement, overwhelming stimulation, pressure, performance, competition, exercise, music, extreme activity, danger, fear.
The more important a task is, the more likely you are able to get into flow, but only if you have the skills necessary to do the task, otherwise you will likely collapse under pressure.

2- Make time for the flow state.
You don’t have to be in flow all day, or even for an hour. You can be in flow for a few minutes at a time; this is called “micro-flow.” You can dip into this state of micro-flow easily, but you can also be brought out of it quickly. Value your own time and don’t let anyone interrupt you when you hope to be in flow state.

3- Be curious.
Curiosity is a major trigger of flow state. If you are not continuously pushing the boundaries of what is possible for you to do, you will fall out of that sweet spot of skills and difficulty, because your task will be too easy, and therefore it will become boring.

4- Don’t try to duplicate the experience.
Every single flow state experience is different. Don’t try to replicate the conditions that put you into flow. Don’t chase that high, instead focus on being even better, which keeps you in the sweet spot. Don’t discount your small moments of micro-flow.

5- Don’t let your mind sabotage your experience.
Find the triggers that get you out of flow state,and learn how to avoid them. Mastery comes from awareness. When you are aware of your triggers that put you in flow or pull you out of it, then you can adjust your conditions to maximize the potential that you will be in flow.

What we can learn from Jada’s Smith Entanglement

What we can learn from Jada's Smith Entanglement

The world of pop culture was abuzz this week, when Will and Jada Pinkett Smith admitted that they had some rocky times in their relationship in the past, including infidelity.

Also Available on Soundcloud | iTunes | Spotify

This is a perfect opportunity for Raul and Vivian to weigh in on how a relationship can change over time. This is not to judge Jada for cheating, or to call Will weak for taking her back. In fact, we take the opposite approach. Every relationship has its own rules, and every relationship involves two dynamic people who are, hopefully, always learning and improving themselves. People tend to forget that a relationship takes work. We’re too quick to judge other people for having an unusual relationship, and we shouldn’t be. Hear what Raul and Vivian have to say about being in a public relationship on this episode of God, Money & Purpose.

The 5 Levels of Energy to have more Motivation and Energy

What is your return on energy? I believe that everything is energy. What you focus on you give energy to, and what you focus on gives you energy in return. This applies to people, news, actions, thoughts, etc. Your ROE is how much energy you put into something and how much you get in return. Some things can bring your energy up, and others can bring you down.

1- The victim/scarcity mindset
You are looking to place blame on others. You take away energy from others.
2- Energy neutral
The sedated warrior stage. You have the energy to get things done, but not enough to take risks. You are comfortable with the way things are.
3- Energy neutral high
You want to take action, you start planning, but you also spend more time planning than acting. You are waiting for permission to act.
4- Energy rich
This is the awakened king’s energy. There is no doubt that you will figure out how because you are attracting the who that will figure out the how. This is the moment you commit to figuring it out no matter what.
5- Energy super rich
This is the ultimate energy state. You are tapping into your purpose. You are able to bring up energy in those around you and rally them to your cause.
