Flow Can Help You in Your Life
Finding the state of flow
Want to know the secret of many high-performance individuals? They worry less about managing time and more about managing energy. To manage your energy effectively, you must know when it is at its best. Once you learn its rhythm, you can use it to your advantage.
Flow
While it is important to use time wisely, understanding when your energy is at an optimum level can create real productivity. Are you familiar with the term being in a state of flow? If not, perhaps you are familiar with being in the zone or in the groove. Each of these terms is synonymous.
Let’s look at what the man who coined the psychological concept of flow had to say:
“Flow is being completely involved in an activity for its own sake. The ego falls away. Time flies. Every action, movement, and thought follows inevitably from the previous one, like playing jazz.” Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi (1934–2021)
Everyone has experienced the state of flow in life, and some can tap into it more often. Flow is what happens when you enter an energized, focused mental state of being immersed in the moment, which increases your productivity. It can last for minutes or hours.
