“Flow is the way people describe their state of mind when consciousness is harmoniously ordered, and they want to pursue whatever they are doing for its own sake”
— Mihaly Csíkszentmihalyi

Simplified Meaning:
When people talk about being "in the flow," they mean they are completely focused on what they are doing and feel really good about it. Their mind is calm and everything feels just right. Think about a painter who loves to paint. When they start, they get so absorbed in their work that they lose track of time and forget everything around them. They paint just because they enjoy it, not because someone told them to or because they want money. This feeling can happen to anyone, whether you're reading a book, playing a sport, or even working. To find this kind of happiness and focus, try doing things you love without worrying about results or rewards.
