I’m doing online therapy modules at the moment and part of the resilience one is flow - that is the act of being absorbed totally in something to the point of losing awareness of time. It can be anything- something skilled that you’re accomplished at, or something simple like cleaning, or gardening…

The idea is, it takes you out of an emotional state of mind, it brings you to a place of peace hopefully.

So I thought I’d start a thread here … what brings you into a state of Flow?

Oh interesting. Reading for sure. But I can lose track of time when I’m at the lake, just sitting and watching the water being aware of nature.

Don’t know if that’s flow but it’s calming.

Sewing, esp hand-sewing. Like hemming a pair of trousers.

That’s good you can do that, I wish I was skilled enough to do it without jabbing myself lol.

Great question! For me right now, it is knitting. I can knit all day long and the day zips by.

Do you feel like you’re in the ‘zone’ when you knit?

Yes, absolutely. Everything else just stops existing.
