Yes, thanks for asking. When you go into FLOW it means that the best skills you possess plus the peak challenges you face compliment one another. For example; You work on an assignment and before you know it, 5 hours have passed and you didn't realize that so much time has passed. You feel a great sense of satisfaction because you had the skills to complete the job and you could handle the challenges because of your skills. Look below to see what happens when you don't have flow in your life. By the way, flow in your personal life has amazing effects.
