Using THIS to Beat Anxiety and Depression

from Happy Brain Hosted by Sean Bloch

Today we're talking about flow. We're not talking about the Flo from those progressive insurance commercials. We're talking about the all-encompassing flow that takes over your body when you get into something that you really, really are into! Do you have an activity, a sport, an artistic endeavor that really captivates you? Dive right into this short episode and you might just find a way to make your brain happier. Resources The 8 Characteristics of Flow (Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi) Complete concentration on the task; Clarity of goals and reward in mind and immediate feedback; Transformation of time (speeding up/slowing down); The experience is intrinsically rewarding; Effortlessness and ease; There is a balance between challenge and skills; Actions and awareness are merged, losing self-conscious rumination; There is a feeling of control over the task. *Courtesy of ⁠ Positive Psychology⁠ Connect with us! ---- Connect with Happy Brain and Sean Bloch ◼️ Show Instagram @happybrainfm ◼️ Instagram:@seanstevebloch
