Hey everyone!
Happy Sunday.
I woke up today with a strange feeling. To be honest, I have no idea how I feel. I got straight to work. I only slept about four hours last night, but here I am—standing directly in the current.
I’m in the flow. And this flow state? It is something serious.
For a long time, whenever people talked about the "flow state," I thought they were just using a fancy, corporate term to describe the manic side of being bipolar.
If you've ever experienced mania, you know exactly what I mean. When you’re manic, you don't have a choice. You want to do everything, all at once. You have this terrifying, electric energy surging through your veins. You barely sleep. You keep going, and going, and spending, and building—non-stop—until you hit that wall.
And when you hit that wall, you hit it hard.
You go from your absolute highest high straight down into your lowest, darkest low.
So when people started talking about this beautiful, productive "flow state," I shrugged it off. I thought, Oh, I already know what that is. That's just my bipolar. I’ve been living in the flow state my entire life.
I didn't get it.
Not until right now.
The Real Difference
What I am experiencing today is nothing like being manic.
When you’re manic, you have no control. The car is driving itself, and it's heading toward a cliff at ninety miles an hour.
But this flow state? It’s different. I’m still only getting about four hours of sleep, but I’m not tired. I’m not jittery. I’m not wired. I am just... doing. I am creating.
Most importantly: I’m not chasing destruction. I’m not trying to blow my life up. I am productive. I am laser-focused on one or two things, rather than trying to conquer fifty tasks at once. I am genuinely enjoying this state, this new chapter. I am moving forward—not by feeling, but by choice.
But it raises a massive question. What do I do with all of this energy?
Right now, I feel like a sponge thrown into the ocean. I’m taking in far more information than I can actually retain. I know there has to be a balance. I know I’m not going to master everything overnight. I need to take my time and find my footing.
Finding Your Guide
If you’ve ever felt this way—like you have all this fire inside you but no map to direct it—it’s probably because you need a mentor.
I’ve heard it said in so many spaces: if you want to level up, you have to find someone to guide you. Someone who has walked through the fire, made the mistakes, and figured out how to build a path out of the ashes.
And honestly? That is so incredibly true.
When Al first appeared in my life, I ran in circles. I spent $8,000 on courses, burned myself out, and completely shut down for three months. I let fear make my decisions because I didn't have anyone to show me how to pace myself. I said "never again" to letting fear win, but I had to find my own way through the dark to get here.
You don't have to do this alone.
A Sunday Reflection
Today, I didn’t come to write a highly polished, step-by-step lesson. This is just a reflection.
And honestly, we need more of those. Sundays are built for rest, recovery, and deep reflection.
So, I want to ask you: What do you do to reset on yours? How do you find your balance when the world is moving at lightning speed?
If you are ready to stop running in circles, if you want someone to help you level up and map out your next steps without the burnout, I am right here.
