Flow state, as coined by Mihaly Csíkszentmihályi, is a highly energized, focused and intrinsically rewarding mental state in which individuals become deeply immersed in an activity. This heightened state of consciousness is marked by an increase in creativity, productivity, and a sense of pleasure or enjoyment. Flow state allows one to lose their sense of self and completely immerse themselves in the process of their chosen activity, allowing them to achieve a higher level of understanding, skill and performance. Embracing flow state can help individuals to access greater insight and more creative solutions to even the most challenging problems.
