5 Flow sessions for grit: The mindset to stick to your resolutions

This is not the time to throw in the towel! Adopt a gritty mindset and keep pushing forward to reach your goals with our Flow sessions WOOP, Eyes on the Prize, The Struggle, Embrace the Suck and The Long Haul.

Flow follows persistence

 
After the first few weeks of the year, many people already drop their New Year’s resolutions again. The initial motivation fades away and we’re falling into old patterns. But it’s exactly these moments where you need to keep going!
 
Did you know that a “Struggle Phase” often precedes Flow States? According to the “Flow Cycle”, it may feel as if having to fight the uphill battle first. But once you grit your teeth and push past this phase, you’ll pave the way for Flow! In fact, persistence has been found to be one main characteristic of the autotelic personality – so people with traits that help them regularly get in the zone (Dwight et al., 2018). Also, grit has been found to correlate positively with Flow states (Smith et al., 2020). The key is to adopt the right mindset and be able to regulate your thoughts and emotions.

“We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit”, as Aristotle once said. Or how we at Flow Lab put it: “We are what we repeatedly do, think and feel. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit”. It’s also the mental and emotional habits that we are building that matter for our performance and goal pursuit.
