the state of the thread [Theme]

Fortunately, mental work is not always unpleasant; people often have made significant efforts over long periods of time without using will power. Psychologist Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi did more than others for the study of such natural attention, and proposed the name "flow" has firmly entered the language. Experienced the feeling of flow describe it as "a state of deep, relaxed concentration, where one loses the sense of time itself, and their own problems," and the joy experienced in this state are so compelling that Csikszentmihalyi has called it an "optimal experience." A variety of classes - from painting to racing - produces a state of flow, and for some authors even writing a book becomes an optimal experience. The well stream separates the two forms of effort: concentration on the task and systematic control of attention. Riding a motorcycle at 150 miles per hour or a game of chess, of course, require a lot of effort. However, to hold the attention of these all-consuming tasks in a state of flux self-control is not needed, so to perform them frees up additional resources.
