Psychologist Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi introduced the concept of 'flow' in a 2004 Ted Talk, describing it as a state of complete absorption in activities where one feels best and performs best. Flow can occur in various fields, from sports to business. This optimal state requires intense focus, clarity on goals, and an alignment of mind and body. Since its introduction in 1975 with Csikszentmihalyi's book 'Beyond Boredom and Anxiety,' the concept has gained substantial attention in both psychological research and corporate training, highlighting its importance for personal and professional development.
Flow is a deep state of focus in which every component of the mind and body work together towards one aim.
Csikszentmihalyi identified seven conditions that seem to be present when a person is in a flow state.
