With so many high-achievers in our community it was super interesting to learn about the moments when they lose track of time. We’ve highlighted some of those conversations below.

When I’m painting, I completely lose track of time. It’s like the world fades away and it’s just me, the canvas, and the colors. Hours can go by without me noticing. That’s also where I find myself again, in that flow, in the process of turning emotions and energy into something visual. Read more>>

I’ve found that being out in nature really helps me reset, especially if exercise is involved. I’ve taken hiking trips up to the mountains and felt a sense of peace. It is a reminder that I can slow down and look at everything around me without judgment. I notice smaller details about things that I may have just walked by without a thought. Read more>>
