100: What is Flow?

Dr. Susan Jackson discusses the concept of flow and its impact on quality of life and performance. Flow is an optimal psychological state where individuals are fully focused on a task and experience a loss of self-consciousness. It enhances the quality of our experience and can positively shape the quality of our lives. Flow can be experienced in various domains, including sports, creativity, and everyday activities. Mindfulness meditation can help access flow by improving focus and attention. The book 'Experiencing Flow' explores the relationship between mindfulness and flow and provides practical strategies for accessing flow in daily life.
