It occurs when one's skills match the challenge at hand from "summary" of Flow (Edição revista e atualizada) by Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi
The state of flow is characterized by a perfect match between one’s skills and the challenge at hand. When individuals find themselves in a state of flow, they are fully immersed in the activity they are engaged in. Their attention is completely focused on the task, and they experience a sense of deep enjoyment and fulfillment. In this state, individuals feel a sense of timelessness and lose track of their surroundings. Flow is not limited to any specific type of activity; it can occur in a wide range of tasks, from sports and games to creative endeavors and intellectual pursuits. What is essential is that the challenge presented by the task is well-matched to the individual's skills. If the challenge is too easy, individuals may feel bored and disengaged. Conversely, if the challenge is too difficult, individuals may feel anxious and overwhelmed. Achieving flow requires a delicate balance between one's abilities and the demands of the task. When individuals find themselves in a state of flow, they experience a sense of total control over their actions. They are fully engaged in the present moment, with a clear sense of purpose and direction. In this state, individuals experience a deep sense of satisfaction and fulfillment.- Creativity, and overall well-being. When individuals are in flow, they are more likely to experience a sense of mastery and accomplishment. They are also more likely to feel a sense of connection with others and with the world around them. Ultimately, flow is a state of being that allows individuals to fully harness their potential and experience life to the fullest.
