Flow States
A "Flow State" is a mental condition where a person is fully immersed in an activity, experiencing heightened focus and enjoyment. This state often occurs when the challenge of a task matches an individual's skill level, leading to a sense of effortless involvement. People in flow often lose track of time and feel a deep sense of satisfaction in their work.
Flow States are commonly associated with activities like sports, art, and music, where individuals can achieve peak performance. The concept was popularized by psychologist Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi, who studied how these states contribute to creativity and productivity.
