The deeper we work

Posted on by philipdodson

The deeper we work, as in focused undistracted work that really matters and is of high value (so not WhatsApping, emailing or clicking on bait) the better we become at it and the greater the value of the work is and the more rewarding it is to us. 

We get into a state of ‘flow’ where the real soulful essence of our true self is being manifested via the amazingly creative tool that is our mind into something real and meaningful.

We are all creative, as we are all creators. That is our purpose in life to create not to consume.

When we take time to focus on one thing and one thing only in a distraction-free environment where we can totally commit to concentrating on our work then what flows from us is unstoppable, we are so in the moment and the joy of doing in a conscious state that we are freed from the restrictions and sabotage of the thinking mind. When we are simply being and working deeply we are allowing our true creative self to flow out from our soul and we are able to create our very best work that enriches us and the world.

When we are in flow

Posted on by philipdodson

When we get into our state of flow we are totally present in the moment, we are experiencing huge joy from the act of doing and we are not concerned with the outcome.

Flow is a state of pure consciousness where we are using the mind, which is the most amazing creative tool, to manifest what our soul desires. We are not energising our thought patterns, which normally take our consciousness away into an unconscious mind state where we are consumed by the outcomes and fears that they generate instead of the act of doing.

Being in flow is where we are engaged in deep work that comes from our very essence, it flows from our soul, it is joyful, creative, enriching and is giving our gift to the world.

When we are in our minds we are doing shallow, disjointed things that serve little purpose to us or the world and are part of the malaise of busyness that dominates.

We perceive that we are busy and yet it is soulless and without joy. We are denying ourselves, our souls, the opportunity to live the life we want.

When we go deep and become fully in this moment, then we are able to do the most amazing things and really connect with what matters. Deep work is something we are all capable of doing we just need to practice, like anything, and we just need to allow ourselves to go into that flow of energy and go with it, not be fearful of the outcome, just focused on the pure joy of creating something now.
