„Flow state is actually the process of accessing and tapping into our own human potential.“ \u2013 Gretchen Bleiler<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Olympian Gretchen Bleiler learned how to tap into flow state during her experience at the X Games<\/a> in Aspen, Colorado.<\/p>\n

Bleiler decided early on<\/a> that she was going to be an Olympian, although she didn\u2019t know what sport it would be for. Back then snowboarding wasn\u2019t even a sport, and was considered just a fad, until the mid-nineties. She decided to follow her dreams to become a professional snowboarder, and found herself competing at the X Games.<\/p>\n

Bleiler was rumored to be the gold-medal favorite. She had spent the year learning a move called The Crippler\u2014one that no other girls were doing. Despite her hard work\u2014and several black eyes\u2014she was doubting herself, fearing her success as well as her failure, and wanting to actually avoid the competition. She was cracking under the weight of expectations: the ones she held for herself, and the ones from others.<\/p>\n

Bleiler taught herself how to tap into flow state, or what she calls our own human potential. She believes we are able to tap into it at any time; all we have to do is learn how. Every persons‘ flow state is unique and different, depending on our own abilities<\/a> and willingness to explore it. Once we can tap into flow state, all effort ceases\u2014as it did for Bleiler in her X Games run\u2014and things become easeful.<\/p>\n

Bleiler offers three steps to tap into flow state:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. You must have passion, curiosity<\/a>, and purpose.<\/li>\n
  2. You must find the courage to act on your passion, curiosity, or purpose.<\/li>\n
  3. Once you choose your passion, you are on the path<\/a> toward flow state.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
