4.25.16 Csikszentmihalyi

Csikszentmihalyi
analyzed how a person enters the flow state,
how one maintains flow
 (engaging in a task where the difficulty matches the ability),
and the factors that cause one to leave the flow state  
drifting toward other mental states of anxiety, relaxation, boredom, worry, arousal, etc. 
He was able to demonstrate that 
someone in flow loses a sense of self-consciousness:
the activity is entirely rewarding in and of itself, 
as one gains a sense of personal control

over the activity.
