What is the "flow" state and how to find it ?

How to find "enjoyment" in life ? People would say "I enjoy having a good pizza" or "I enjoy watching Netflix" but these are simple "pleasures" which will come and go. True happiness or enjoyment would be when you did something productive, time flew by and you are still excited to do more of it. That's where concept of the "flow" state comes in.

Flow state is described as something where your challenges and skills are perfectly aligned. Meaning, if the activity is too hard, then it will lead to anxiety or fear (speaking in front of a difficult audience). If the activity is too simple (watching netflix or scrolling facebook), then it will eventually lead to boredom. 

To find your "flow", choose an activity that is slightly harder than what you would have done normally (like I am writing this blog) but do not be motivated by immediate external stimuli like fame or money (like I am writing this blog because I am interested in this art of creation rather than a large audience immediately). This way you will reach a state where you do not care about other's opinion or have any worry about the world but just focus on the task at hand.

Hope you all find your "flow".
