IN/PSS (10) Peak Performance: Power of Focus and Being in Flow

2 DAYS

Have you ever felt that a task was seemingly effortless and time passed as if "you were sailing through the wind"?  With flow, "time becomes autoletic" - time flies.


Flow is experienced when a person has the right opportunity and is in the right mindset - it is in the command of what we do, how we execute tasks effortlessly, and how we perform it at our best.


To achieve the power of focus, one needs to be attentive, mindful, and resourceful, and, with that, the imperative of learning to achieve self-regulation.


According to William James, Psychologist and original thinker,"the faculty of voluntarily bringing (yourself) back from wandering attention, over and over again, is the very root of judgment, character, and will."
