Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi's Theory of Flow
Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi's Theory of Flow describes a mental state where a person is fully immersed and focused on an activity, experiencing enjoyment and a sense of control. This occurs when the task's challenge matches one's skill level, leading to deep engagement without stress or boredom. In flow, time seems to distort, and the person feels at their peak performance. It's often experienced during activities like sports, arts, or work when individuals are completely absorbed, fostering motivation, creativity, and personal growth.
