Excerpts:
Flow... It’s about enjoying and finding meaning in what we do and doing what we enjoy and find meaningful. Flow refuels us.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:
" Flow is the mental state of operation in which the person is fully immersed
in what he or she is doing by a feeling of energized focus, full involvement,
and success in the process of the activity. Proposed by Mihály Csíkszentmihályi, the positive psychology concept has been widely referenced across a variety of fields. Colloquial terms for this or similar mental states include: to be on the ball, in the zone, or in the groove.
(From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia)
Says Dr Perschel, “When flow happens you are in a state of harmony. All the gears are engaged and synchronized. Work is effortless. A trial lawyer who loves to compete and win is in the flow when she prepares her case. Her heart pumps faster. Ideas just pop. After working 12 hours she has plenty of energy to care for her two young sons. A landscaper is in the flow when she presses the dirt firmly around the flowers and the scent of damp earth fills her nostrils. She goes home dirty but joyous and ready to engage with her family. When an architect is in the flow the building seems to draw itself.”
