A person with an autotelic personality has traits that allow to engage in flow--a single-minded full immersion of oneself into activity. When someone is "in the zone", they operate without self-conscientiousness or even self-awareness. All emotions and thoughts are focused on what they are doing in the moment. They are the action. They are the moment.

My autotelic traits are millstones in some contexts. But when I am able to harness them, good things happen.
