Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi proposes how it feels to be in flow – a state where wellbeing, brain integration creativity and purpose combine:

1. Attention is focused on a limited stimulus field – there’s full concentration
2. Action and awareness merge
3. There’s freedom from worry about failure
4. Self-consciousness disappears
5. Sense of time becomes distorted
6. The experience becomes its own reward

This seems a state, truly, to be desired.
