The Nature of Flow and its Link to Joy and Fulfillment
Flow experiences are characterized by the absence of thoughts about the past or future, resulting in an intense present moment. Time can seem distorted in flow, and the enjoyment of flow is not solely tied to performance or achievement. Instead, the joy and fulfillment in flow come from the loss of the sense of self, which brings a sense of wholeness and joy. This challenges the conventional idea of success being tied to future achievements, as flow demonstrates that joy and fulfillment are accessible in the present moment by removing barriers created by the thinking mind.
