Concentration is like breathing, you never think of it.

In flow - one is able to forget all the unpleasant aspects of life.

Clear structured demands of an activity impose order and exclude the interference
of disssorder in counciousness.
In flow - you are exercising control of what you are doing and don't care about
controlling the outside world.
Activities that produce flow can become addictive at which point the selfe becomes
captive of a certain kind of order, and is then unwilling to cope with the
ambiguities of life.
Preocupation with the self consumes psychic energy because in everyday life we
often feel threatened. Whenever this happens we need to bring the image we have of
ourselves back into awareness so we can find out wether the threat is or not
serious.
autotelic experience - a self contained activity, one that is done not with the
expectation of some future benefit, but simply because the doing itself is the
reward.
