Now here's a little explanation just for those who wonder about the stupid title this blog received from its creator:
'Flow' has been experienced throughout history and across cultures. The teachings of Buddhism speak of a state of mind known as the "action of inaction" or "doing without doing" that greatly resembles the idea of flow.
Historical sources hint that Michelangelo may have painted the ceiling of the Vatican's Sistine Chapel while in a 'Flow state'. It is reported that he painted for days at a time, and he was so absorbed in his work that he did not stop for food or sleep until he reached the point of passing out. He would wake up refreshed and, upon starting to paint again, re-entered a state of complete absorption.
Bruce (Bam) Lee also spoke of a psychological state similar to 'Flow 'in his book the Dao of Jeet Kune Do.
'Flow' is the mental state of operation in which a person in an activity is fully immersed in a feeling of energized focus, full involvement, and success in the process of the activity.
Obviously this 'Flow' they are talking about must be pretty awesome... For those who became interested in that 'State of Flow' I just pinned the benefits that you can earn hereby on the side.
Take care!
