The Flow

How does it feel to be in “The Flow”?

  • Completely involved, focused, concentrating - with this either due to innate curiosity or as the result of training
  • Sense of ecstasy - of being outside everyday reality
  • Great inner clarity - knowing what needs to be done and how well it is going
  • Knowing the activity is doable - that the skills are adequate, and neither anxious or bored
  • Sense of serenity - no worries about self, feeling of growing beyond the boundaries of ego - afterwards feeling of transcending ego in ways not thought possible
  • Timeliness - thoroughly focused on present, don’t notice time passing
  • Intrinsic motivation - whatever produces “flow” becomes its own reward
