Experiences – Life – Inspiration 🇨🇭🇯🇵

Recently, I finished reading the book Flow: The Psychology of Optimal Experience by Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi. Unspeakable name, I know! I chose to read it to gain clarity on why we sometimes become so immersed in certain activities that we lose track of time, feeling deeply connected while simultaneously being challenged and growing.

Personally, this immersion happens almost every day for me. Whenever I start my morning yoga practices, tend to our garden, or work on my daily blog posts and weekly YouTube videos, I tend to forget time. Yet, I feel a profound sense of growth and equanimity.

I won’t bore you with a summary of the book, but I can wholeheartedly recommend it as an interesting read for anyone contemplating the same questions I have.

The book delves into how achieving flow can lead to a more meaningful and fulfilling life. It focuses on the concept of flow—a state of complete immersion and enjoyment in an activity where self-consciousness fades, and the activity itself becomes its own reward.
