Do you have an activity, a sport, an artistic endeavor that really captivates you? Dive right into this short episode and you might just find a way to make your brain happier

The 8 Characteristics of Flow

(Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi)

  1. Complete concentration on the task;
  2. Clarity of goals and reward in mind and immediate feedback;
  3. Transformation of time (speeding up/slowing down);
  4. The experience is intrinsically rewarding;
  5. Effortlessness and ease;
  6. There is a balance between challenge and skills;
  7. Actions and awareness are merged, losing self-conscious rumination;
  8. There is a feeling of control over the task.
