I read an article recently in the TopPerformance newsletter (May 2012 edition) that really struck me as useful. So many times, we get bogged down in our daily work lives and lose our way. Perhaps this is why so many people have lost their passion for work or worse- for life! Finding our flow can really help us get back on track and accomplish those things that are the most important to us! For other editions of the TopPerformance newsletter go to:

“Flow” or “being in the zone” is a popular concept these days. The concept of flow was introduced by pshchologist Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi in the 1990’s, and ever since, people looking to get more out of their work have been trying to achieve this illusive state of mind.
What is Flow?
During a flow experience, action seems effortless. When making decisions, you may “feel” the right path to take. Thinking is suspended while you’re totally immersed in one action after another, and you don’t notice time passing. Some people refer to this as being “in the zone”.
Athletes, musicians, artists, hobbyists often experience flow, as do people who pray or meditate.
