Flow theory is a little bit of a, it creates this type divide where you're either like in flow or you're not. I feel like sometimes I've been on like the cusp, but I still can just feel a bit of self consciousness. So how can you tell if like where you might be on that spectrum? That might be a very difficult to answer questions.
