Let time flow by

Have you ever been so absorbed in an activity that the time has passed by without you even noticing? Positive psychology refers to this as ‘flow’. Experiencing flow is said to enhance your wellbeing because your mind is preoccupied with something you’re enjoying, with no real distractions.

When was the last time you think you experienced flow? Often when you experience flow during an activity, you’re likely to have achieved something too. For example, it could be playing sport, being creative or taking part in a hobby. This sense of achievement is also said to enhance our life experience.
