The State of Flow

The state of flow is described by researcher Mihai Chixent Mihai as a state of being when one is fully engaged in a task that is just challenging enough to be engaging and rewarding. Flow states are commonly experienced by artists, musicians, and athletes who have mastered their craft. To reach flow, we must devote some time and energy into getting relatively good at something. When you're first learning a task that will get you into a flow state, let go of expectations and just get absorbed in the process.
