Flow
Flow is a state of optimal experience in which people are so engaged in an activity that they lose track of time and become completely absorbed in what they are doing. This state is often associated with a feeling of joy, creativity, and inner peace.
Flow can occur during any type of activity, from work to play to creative endeavors. However, it is most likely to occur when we are engaged in an activity that is challenging but not too difficult, and that has clear goals and feedback.
Flow is often described as a "state of flow" or "the zone" because it is a state of complete focus and concentration.
When we are in flow, we are completely absorbed in the task at hand and we are not thinking about anything else. We are completely focused on the present moment.
Flow is a state of mind, but it is also a state of the body. When we are in flow, our body is relaxed and our breathing is deep and rhythmic. We often have a feeling of lightness or weightlessness. Our movements are effortless and fluid.
