When you enter a state of flow you achieve the perfect balance between challenge and skill. If what you’re doing is too easy, you’ll get bored. If it’s too hard, you’ll feel anxious. It’s got to be just right. The perfect balance between challenge and skill.
Happiness, or “flow,” occurs when we are: • intensely focused on an activity • of our own choosing, that is • neither underchallenging (boreout) nor overchallenging (burnout), that has • a clear objective, and that receives • immediate feedback.
