Csikszentmihalyi's Flow Theory

Csikszentmihalyi's Flow Theory describes a mental state where a person is fully immersed and focused on an activity, experiencing deep enjoyment and involvement. This state occurs when the challenge of the task matches one's skill level, leading to a sense of control and effortless concentration. In flow, time may seem to distort, and external worries fade. It’s often associated with activities like sports, art, or work when individuals are completely engaged, leading to personal growth and satisfaction. Achieving flow enhances well-being and performance by aligning skill and challenge in meaningful pursuits.
