How to Know and Be in Flow

by Mike Kirkeberg

Older and wiser than I have been before, I hope I have learned a few things. As I age and sometimes have to work harder to stay fit and in tune with myself, more and more I realize that I don’t want – and can’t spare – any wasted time. Does this fit for you?

I want to use my time as often as I can doing things that really connect me with my self. I think the baby boomer generation has always been like this, and, at least for me, it has developed into something that feels pretty important in my life.

You have all probably heard of Mihály Csíkszentmihályi and his theory of flow. His books have described it as a feeling of timelessness, challenge, and yet ease. In a sense it can be a home grown peak experience. I created a video that delves briefly into what it takes to get to the flow experience, and what it is to be in it. I’m not an expert. I am just interested and wanted to share what I’ve learned with you.
