The link between breathing and flow state

When we talk about flow, we often overlook a crucial detail:physiology directly influences this mental state. Andbreathing plays a key role.

🔹Chaotic breathing = brain on alert🚨
When your breathing is rapid, irregular, and shallow, your nervous system is in stress mode (sympathetic nervous system). The result? Your HRV (Heart Rate Variability) is low, and your brain is agitated, distracted, and unable to enter a state of flow.

🔹Controlled breathing = access to flow🔥
When you breathe slowly and deeply, you activate your parasympathetic nervous system and increase your HRV. Your heart rate harmonizes, your mind calms down, and your focus becomes laser-like.

In short,the better you breathe, the easier it is to get into the flow.
