But once the interaction starts to provide feedback to the person’s skills, it usually begins to be intrinsically rewarding.” says Csikszentmihalyi. “Most enjoyable activities are not natural they demand an effort that initially one is reluctant to make. When you are doing what you are challenged by and enjoy, you will be content. Take your job and approach it in a way that you’ll experience flow, embracing higher states of consciousness make challenge meaningful. Focused fun can be incorporated into your work. When you are at play you have fun and enjoy what you do. These sports allow me to use concentration and play to get results. Flow appears for me whenever I play sports. When you’re stretching yourself to accomplish something worthwhile, you move towards flow. You are deliberate in your action and concentration. When you are in flow you are in the state of control. Flow is based on scientific research and experiments in human psychology.
When you are consumed by work you love, time stands still. You have found flow when you are present.
Work in a state of flow. Flow will provide you with opportunities to learn from challenges and enjoy your work. Flow – The Psychology of Optimal Experience – By: Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi
