“The flow” and its benefits.

In his book ‘Emotional Intelligence’, Daniel Goleman describes a state called ‘flow’. It is a state in which we are fully focused on an action, on a task, and even sometimes have no sense of time passing.

Nel suo libro “Intelligenza emotiva”, Daniel Goleman descrive uno stato chiamato “flusso”. Si tratta di uno stato in cui siamo completamente concentrati su un’azione, su un compito, e a volte non abbiamo nemmeno la percezione del tempo che passa.

I sometimes experience this state when I write books or blog posts. It’s a pleasant feeling and beneficial for the creation of texts. It is not easy to describe this state exactly. It has something to do with passion, with enjoying what we do.

A volte provo questo stato quando scrivo libri o post sul blog. È una sensazione piacevole e benefica per la creazione dei testi. Non è facile descrivere esattamente questo stato. Ha a che fare con la passione, con il piacere di ciò che facciamo.

Wikipedia provides the following description of “flow”: “”a flow state, also known colloquially as being in the zone, is the mental state in which a person performing some activity is fully immersed in a feeling of energized focus, full involvement, and enjoyment in the process of the activity. In essence, flow is characterized by the complete absorption in what one does, and a resulting transformation in one’s sense of time.”

Wikipedia fornisce la seguente descrizione del “flusso”: “lo stato di flusso, noto anche colloquialmente come essere nella zona, è lo stato mentale in cui una persona che svolge un’attività è completamente immersa in una sensazione di concentrazione energetica, pieno coinvolgimento e piacere nel processo dell’attività. In sostanza, il flusso è caratterizzato dal completo assorbimento in ciò che si fa e dalla conseguente trasformazione del senso del tempo”.

The search for what we are really interested in, the search for life’s passions can be linked to experiencing this state; if we love what we are passionate about, we have the chance to experience ‘flow’ even on a daily basis.

La ricerca di ciò che ci interessa veramente, la ricerca delle passioni della vita può essere collegata all’esperienza di questo stato; se amiamo ciò che ci appassiona, abbiamo la possibilità di sperimentare il “flusso” anche su base quotidiana.
