It's being fully present and operating at the edge of your expertise. Since you are at the edge of your ability you cannot be participating with [[Power Leaks]], meaning you cannot have attention on unimportant things. Flow is often described as the ideal state of a human. Flow matters to us because if we can spend more time in flow, we may have a better moment to moment life ![[Flow from "Change the World".jpeg]] ### the opposite argument If you are just living in the present you don't need to seek flow. Every moment gives you an opportunity to pay attention to the moment and loose the ego. It's your attention that gets in the way. ## Sources: [[Flow the psychology of optimal experience]] [Graham Mann Flow Summary](https://www.grahammann.net/book-notes/flow-mihaly-csikszentmihalyi) [[Change the World]]
