Flow Theory
Flow Theory, developed by psychologist Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi, describes a mental state where a person is fully immersed in an activity, experiencing intense focus and enjoyment. This state occurs when there's a balance between the challenges of a task and one's skills. When you engage in something you love that pushes you just enough beyond your comfort zone, you may lose track of time and feel a sense of happiness and achievement. Flow can enhance creativity, learning, and personal satisfaction, making tasks feel more rewarding and fulfilling.
