Csikszentmihalyi's Theory of Flow

Csikszentmihalyi's Theory of Flow describes a mental state where a person is fully immersed and focused in an activity, often leading to high levels of enjoyment and productivity. This state occurs when one's skills perfectly match the challenge at hand, creating a sense of balance and engagement. Key characteristics of flow include intense concentration, a loss of self-awareness, and distorted sense of time. People often experience flow during activities they are passionate about, such as arts, sports, or problem-solving, enhancing both personal satisfaction and overall performance in those tasks.
