A paragraph or more with a personal story or example(s) for each item would make it more relatable and understandable. I'm curious about "I know that flow states are very similar to manic states." Or like for #1, what are some examples of "[setting] up your life in such a way that effort feels rather effortless"? Edit: the one about shoes was a good example. I has a bit about helping your back that explains why you say that.

good to know! appreciate the feedback. i was trying to strike a balance between making it personal vs staying more abstract

I think leaving things too abstract leads the reader to question "is this actually true or is it just a clever saying?"
