What is Flow? The Psychology of Peak Experience

Nakamura & Csikszentmihalyi

• Stretching body and mind to the limit to accomplish something difficult and worthwhile

• Used to describe sense of effortless action they feel in moments that stand out as the best in their lives

• Athletes refer to it as “Being in the Zone”

• Expands the individuals goals, interest structure (creativity), and skills relevant to an existing interest

• Often involves anticipation of desired future state that is as engaging as those states of rhythms, paces, zones

• Rhythms/Pace/Zones= Ideal Performance States
