Self Improvement Tip of the Day: GETTING INTO THE FLOW OF SUCCESS (continued)

Self Improvement Tip of the Day: GETTING INTO THE FLOW OF SUCCESS (continued)

Wikipedia describes ‘Flow’ as “The mental state of operation in which the person is fully immersed in what he or she is doing, characterized by a feeling of energized focus, full involvement, and success in the process of the activity. Many other terms and idioms exist for this mental state: to be on the ball, in the zone, or in the groove.”

The notion of ‘flow’ was developed by Dr Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi who has devoted his life's work to the study of what makes people truly happy, satisfied and fulfilled. He has conducted extensive research and written several book on the subject of ‘flow’ and being ‘in flow’.

People enter a flow state when they are fully absorbed in activity during which they lose their sense of time and have feelings of great satisfaction.

Csikszentmihalyi describes flow as "being completely involved in an activity for its own sake. The ego falls away. Time flies. Every action, movement, and thought follows inevitably from the previous one, like playing jazz. Your whole being is involved, and you're using your skills to the utmost."

Awesome post,
Self-improvement is the key to better relations with other people. Self-improvement helps us to take our own decision in any kind of problems that we face in our lives. It is a better way to take charge of our own life. Success is a concept that drives all of us. We search for this destination through our ambitions, our relationships, our home businesses and all areas of our lives. If we want to reach this objective we must understand what it is, how it is measured and how it is achieved. Our success is dependent on the road that we travel to discover it. :)
