Understanding the flow state
The flow state is the mental state in which a person performing some activity is fully immersed in a feeling of energized focus, involvement, and enjoyment in the process.
Flow is all about finding a balance between a skill and how challenging it is. It requires a high level of concentration, however, it should be effortless.

Why flow matters
Athletes, writers, creatives, and artists will all tell you the same thing about the importance of flow in our lives: it is the gateway to unlocking our highest levels of performance, productivity, and personal satisfaction.
Flow also gives us a sense of purpose, a feeling of being aligned with our truest selves, and a profound satisfaction that comes from living fully in the present.

The foundation
- Enjoyment – How could you ever flow with something you don’t like?
- Awareness – To enter the flow state you need to be aware of every emotion and sensation you experience during the activity. You can practice mindfulness through activities like meditation and journaling.
Optimize those first. The rest follows.

Great interesting short snippets of informative articles. Highly recommended to anyone who loves information and lacks patience.

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!

I have only been using it for a few days now, but I have found answers to questions I had never consciously formulated, or to problems I face everyday at work or at home. I wish I had found this earlier, highly recommended!
