When you’re in flow, you’re so present in the moment that you feel as if you’re outside of time. The line between your experience and your mind gets erased. You’re un-self-conscious. You’re entirely absorbed. You’re in the zone. Flow leads to the sorts of moments and memories that make life seem rich. If you’re distracted, you can’t immerse yourself in an experience – which means that you can’t, by definition, get into flow.
