Via Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi((pronounced “CHICK-sent-me-high-ee”) , Chicago professor and the author of one the most influential books,"FLOW" says , being in flow means :

  • Completely involved in what we are doing - focused, concentrated
  • A sense of ecstasy - of being outside everyday reality
  • Greater inner clarity - knowing what needs to be done, and how well we are doing
  • Knowing that the activity is doable - that our skills are adequate to the task
  • Sense of serenity - no worries about oneself, and a feeling of growing beyond the boundaries of the ego
  • Timelessness - thoroughly focused on the present, hours seem to pass by in minutes
  • Intrinsic motivation - whatever produces flow becomes its own reward
