Top 10 Benefits of Flow State

1. Increased feelings of enjoyment and fulfillment while in Flow
2. Increased happiness and joy both inside and after Flow
3. Increased engagement in the task at hand
4. Increased passion for the long-term goal
5. Increased performance and productivity
6. Increased creativity, this article by BBC highlights just that
   
7. Increased ability to develop skills, learn information, and integrate knowledge
8. Increased emotional regulation of even negative emotional states
9. Decreased stress both during and after Flow State
10. Increased report of feelings of connectedness to self and others

Because Flow State brings all these benefits together, it seems obvious that instead of trying to improve each factor independently, the obvious choice is the build and enhance Flow State. Instead of plucking each leaf off the tree, doesn’t it make more sense to just chop the tree down in one go?

That’s the benefit of Flow State – an enduring, sustainable, and pervasive positive state that can affect so many different aspects and areas of our life in a meaningful way.

When in the search of joy, wellbeing, success and fulfillment, Flow State seems the obvious choice.
