Description

In this episode of the Messy in The Middle podcast, Ed and Jefi discuss the concept of flow and its importance in achieving a balanced and fulfilling life. Flow state occurs when individuals are fully immersed in an activity, experiencing deep concentration and a sense of timelessness. Ed and Jefi share examples of flow-inducing activities such as skiing, mountain biking, surfing, tennis, dancing, and even real estate negotiations. 

Listen this week as Ed and Jefi share how you can incorporate nature, dynamic motion, and social interaction into daily activities to enhance the flow experience!
