Flow (theory by Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi)

Flow, a concept by Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi, describes a mental state where a person is fully immersed and focused on an activity, experiencing a sense of effortless engagement and enjoyment. It occurs when challenge and skill are balanced, leading to heightened concentration, creativity, and satisfaction. In this state, people often lose track of time and self-awareness, feeling deeply connected to what they’re doing. Achieving flow can enhance performance and well-being, making activities more fulfilling. It is commonly experienced during tasks like sports, arts, or work when the activity is both challenging and rewarding.
