• Flow is the source code of intrinsic motivation. “Most addictive” state on earth.
• People who are most satisfied in life are reaching a flow state. (Steven Kotler)
• When you are in a flow state you are using less of your brain: transient hypofrontality.
• In a flow state, the prefrontal cortex shuts down. This is important because this is the part of your brain that understands time and makes logical decisions. When this shuts down, your brain cannot distinguish between past, present, and future, and does not dwell on any anxiety.
• Stress hormones and  anxiety leaves (“Deep now”)
• Your sense of self is a neural network in your prefrontal cortex.  When you remove your sense of self by bringing the network down,  your inner voice critic nagging now becomes silent. This equals freedom.
• If risk taking increases, then creativity increases, because the inner critic nagging is absent.
• While in Flow, your brain will produce 5 incredible chemicals:
• Norepinephrine, Dopamine,  Endorphins,   Anandamide,  Serotonin. This is the ONLY time these chemicals are produced all at once!
• This encourages motivation, creativity, enlightenment, brain chemistry wellness, and positive self image.

• In the past, veterans have naturally put themself into flow state where they have accessed natural chemicals in their brain from reaching it over and over again while in battle or through extreme circumstances.  Retiring from the military, coming home, or working a job, and then never accessing these natural chemicals again puts them in a state of risk. War is the most extreme version of an “action sport” on earth.  Learning how to access flow state again without going to War is our primary objective first. It will allow someone to become more open, creative, and willing to learn. Giving vets (especially active physical vets) access to equipment/environments that they would not have access to on their own will give them a new purpose to look forward to.  Our goal is to create a group of people who are a tight community who can work together to achieve new goals in life.  This is done through partnering with professional athletes and instructors.
• Preventing depression, maintaining mental health, and preventing suicide is one of the reasons to maintain flow state.  Hitting flow state will allow a person to be 500% more creative and able to receive new information in using better pathways in the brain.
• When working with the whole family, children see their father or mother excel, work hard, and overcome obstacles.  When the family sees the change of energy inside of someone, it causes a rise in both connection and togetherness.
