5 Steps to Tune Into a Peaceful, Flow State
I'm celebrating an incredible season of inspiration as we've welcomed a wave of motivated aspiring authors into both our Kingdom Women and Secular coaching academy divisions! Their books are already taking shape with powerful, transformational potential. It's been amazing to witness their aha moments and breakthroughs as they dive into vision activities and uncover their Authorpreneur path. There's nothing like watching these passionate visionaries light up as their book visions grow with clarity, purpose, and power.
I'm also celebrating our incredible speakers in the final phases of our Speaker Academy. They've each delivered their speeches for masterminding and feedback, and now we're diving into stage presence, selling from stage, and more. It's been such a joy witnessing their powerful speeches come to life and hearing about the speaking engagements they're booking to expand their reach and transform lives!
Equally, I'm cheering on and coaching our authors in the advanced stages of publishing and launching their books to #1 bestseller! It's been amazing to hear how their books are making a difference and opening new doors as they reach more people.
As I'm celebrating our authors' and speakers' accomplishments, I've noticed a key difference between those who stay stuck in overwhelm and those who reach their full potential. I've discovered that we all have a choice: we can either get caught up in the noise and busyness around us, or rise above it, focus on what truly matters, and take aligned action toward our vision from a place of peace and flow.
I get it—it can feel like a lot to carry during this season of steady, step-by-step work. But remember, it’s temporary and it’s laying the foundation for long-term impact and lasting time and financial freedom.
No matter where you are—starting your book, launching it, or speaking and coaching—it's easy to succumb to the pressure or feel like you're falling behind. However, when you allow the pressure and lies of non-enoughness sneak in, it can derail your vision rather than fuel it.
So take a breath. (Actually, pause right now and take some deep intentional breaths...). You're exactly where you're meant to be. Every small, consistent step is progress to be celebrated!—and it's leading you exactly where you're meant to go.
So how do you create the balance so you can enter into the peaceful flow state in order to connect to and carry out your vision? What does it take to shift to a receiving state, an allowing state where you feel connected and in flow?—where everything else melts away and it's just you and the task in front of you (and your Holy Spirit muse directing the path)? How do you access this state of peace and flow so you can consistently carry out the small, inspired action each step of the way?
Here's 5 steps that helped me when I was writing my book and still supports me to this day as I enter into various seasons of expansion:
1. Take care of your vessel. There's an entire chapter in my book Unleash Your Rising on living a healthy life. I personally found that taking sugar and alcohol out of my diet put me in a higher state of connecting and feeling in flow.
2. Exercise. Moving your body daily is so key. I recently bought a $57 app called VShred with daily videos of 15-20 minute HIIT workouts. That's really all you need is an intentional 15-20 minutes per day. Or spend that 15-20 minutes dancing. (I dance-worship and praise with gratitude statements out loud!). Later, as you go about your day, if you find yourself stuck in your head again, simply jumping up and down (rebounding), and verbalizing out loud positive affirmations and declarations with joy, is a great way to clear your head. Also a walk in nature can help you get into flow state as you intentionally connect with everything around you, practicing present moment awareness, each step along your walk.
3. Journaling. There's introspective journaling exercises in my book Unleash Your Rising that bring breakthrough and clarity on your story. Journaling is a great place to start! Also the breakthroughs waiting for you will naturally open up the creative side of your mind more—it feels so freeing! In my book you will also discover about third-story reverence, which is a way of being where the peaceful, flow state is your default.
4. Taking deep breaths. Deep breathing can help reset your mind and allow you to drop into your heart. For me, I close my eyes and breathe out anything not serving me (give it to God), and breathe in peace, love, joy etc. It immediately creates a reset so no matter what task I just came from, I can sit down and be in a peaceful, flow state.
5. Just write! Writing activates the creative side of your mind and allows you to get into flow state. So whatever is going on, write about it, then transfer that inspiration into the step-by-step tasks for your vision. Or write about something fun then take that fun, creative energy into writing the next chapter of your book or doing reach outs for networking or speaking engagements.
Writing brings peace and clarity every time so just write! Just do it! Nike is onto something here.:)

To discover more, feel free to grab my book Unleash Your Rising. Also to discover more about how to live in third-story reverence, download the Your Story of Intention chart here that accompanies chapters 2-4 of my book. Within Unleash Your Rising you will find numerous ways to connect to and expand your vision. It was also intentionally written to bring breakthrough so you can more easily access flow state, where the fruits of the spirit are your default. By the way, Amazon is still running a promotion on the revised paperback here.
Remember, the journey to accessing third-story reverence—where peace and flow become your natural state—is deeply rewarding. Take a few intentional moments each day, throughout the day, to drop into your heart and move toward your vision from that space. This powerful way of living starts with small, consistent steps.
Enjoy the journey!
In Abundance & Joy,
