Zen Buddhist training. It's training in cultivating a permanent flow state. For starters, it's a half hour of zazen every morning, and a longer period, once or twice a week. Some people think they can get the same thing from meditation apps, or whatever else is popular these days, but there's no substitute for the real thing: working one-on-one with a teacher, participating in longer retreats, studying koans, debating and discussing, learning the history and philosophy of a thousand-year old branch of a 2500-year-old tradition.
