Flow State and Flow Triggers

Flow is a state where individuals feel and perform at their peak, involving total engagement and maximum skill utilization. Flow triggers, such as high consequences, risk, novelty, complexity, and unpredictability, drive individuals into the present moment by increasing focusing neurochemicals like Norepinephrine and dopamine. These triggers lead to flow reliably, contrasting with the negative aspects of bucca, which encompasses volatility, uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguity in the workplace.
