Zen , especially the Zen arts, have so much in common? with this.

Flow is the experience that results from the interaction between skill and challenge, typically as relates to some task. Video games pose an? interesting question because television viewing is an activity that ranks low on challenge and skill. Video games on the other hand pose challenges of varying degree which seems like it should produce the conditions for flow. Yet, as one plays the same game over and over, as skill increases and challenge decreases, one will end up in the boredom dimension

That's m'prof ?

I wouldn't describe that as flow, as flow is the optimal sustained attention, where you use your every resource on doing a task. What you're? speaking of is you have no brain capacity left for thinking of other matters. Flow for me is when I was a kid and played a video game which would just make 12 hours go by in the blink of an eye, and I could even forget to eat or go to the toilet, I would forget school work and I would not even notice what happened around me.
By: MetObsessed. on 19 May 12, 08:14:14
Flow can be described as a sense that one's skills are adequate to cope with the challenges provided by a goal-directed, rule-bound matter that provides clear feedback of how well one is performing. What happens is; concentration is so intense there is no attention left for any irrelevant matters. Self-consciousness disappears, and the sense of time becomes distorted. An activity that produces experiences so gratifying that people are willing to do it for its own sake.?

I think to feel "flow"? calls for preparation for an overwhelming task and/or extremely beautiful experience that is unique in some way. You allow or invite this challenging task/experience, totally focusing on an aspect of the task/experience . . . e.g., a person, finishing the task or finding out what happends at the end of the experience. I also think that being n this state of mind is part of our natural survival mechanism.

Me too bro!! Exactly that! And I? know why.

This guy? needs to hock a lugi, spit, or do something to clear his throat.

The times? where I have experienced this most, have been when I'm exhausted. There have been times when I've been doing some activity with little sleep and my brain kind of shuts of and I just work with absolute focus with a blank mind, hardly even thinking. Strangely I have been highly efficient in this state.

Artists? and musicians know and experience the state of flow. The flow experience can be applied to anything you want to? achieve in life. Being in the state of flow enables the experience of total involvement in what we enjoy doing, whilst being creative to develop something that has meaning. FLOW is an art itself.

Mihaly's work is fundamental to understanding the inputs that go into leading a fulfilling, meaningful career and/or life. Other writers and researchers who we feel build on this are Simon Sinek (Start With Why), Daniel Pink (Drive), Malcolm Gladwell (Outliers) and, from a more academic, positive psychology perspective, Jonathan Haidt (The Happiness Hypothesis, UVA), Daniel Gilbert (Stumbling on Happiness, Harvard), Chris? Peterson (UMichigan) & Martin Seligman (Authentic Happiness, UPenn).

By: TroyMccluresbreth. on 23 Jan 12, 07:19:49
I was the top ranked player in armor for battlefield 3 until 1 month ago I realized I had to achieve this mental state of flow through other means, now i just have to find what intrigues me as much as being challenged by 32 people all at once. Should be easy? right?The only thing i can even begin to compare with being in a flow state would be certain drugs. I don't agree with his timeline for being able to achieve a flow state, as i've experienced it within minutes of starting an activity.

Fair point. BTW would someone UNSPAM b1ackhatd3vilz comment? I'm the? one he's calling an idiot and he has a perfect right to do so if only because he happens to have a point. If you don't like the opinion, it's dishonest to flag it as spam when it's clearly not spam.
By: leconfidant. on 02 Jan 12, 16:51:46
Interesting reply. Maybe you're right. I think everyone has had the experience of being excited and into what they're doing. But most artists who report the experience say they needed about six years? before they felt the work 'coming through them', instead of being in reasonable control of what they're doing. Maybe that's elitist, but they all agreed it was more fun and satisfying then sex. Are you having that doing something else?
By: winder487. on 02 Jan 12, 02:51:37
I think you'd be hard-pressed to find anyone who hasn't experienced this. Perhaps not.?

Read his book, nearly twelve years ago. That guy simply saved my life. After reading it, i? could sing without feeling guilty or a waste of time. I have been doing it, in public, started last march, this year only (about time, uh...). Les choses les plus évidentes sont quelquefois les plus difficiles à s'accorder. Sur ce, je retourne l' accorder cette guitare et ma voix ;-)

Yeah I don't disagree, I came to the same conclusions when I came across all of these videos? over a year ago when I posted the comment, if you can read you'll note it says 'childhood' damn I think I'll delete it, all these replies are starting to get annoying.

I feel flow when? doing pick-up :)

If you are to spend the majority of your time in life with other people focusing on social interactions and prestige Computer Games are not the best choice. However challenging and healthy for a creative mind, this is not a good choice over other activities. Remember you become good at what you do -> Good at sitting in front of a computer or good in company with others. Take? your pick.
By: XxbruncyxX. on 11 Dec 11, 00:05:03
I did spend a huge amount of my teens with Computer Games as well.One must remember that Computer Games are merely a substitute for other activities that? might bring your state of mind into Flow as well. Focusing on achieving Flow through social activities adds up very useful character traits such as Charisma and Confidence as a bi product.
