That's a concept called Flow researched heavily by Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi
I highly recommend checking out his works to get through these fluffy blog posts into what the actual research says.

- tailspin2019 5y agoNot sure it's quite the same thing. I think it's closer to a state of mindfulness than flow. In a flow state you are, by definition, fully absorbed in an activity and are not necessarily very "self aware" in this kind of way.
- pasquinelli 5y agoif i'm not mistaken, that total absorbtion would be referred to as one-act samadhi in a buddhist conception.
- sAbakumoff 5y agothe total absorption could be referred to as one of dhyānas https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dhy%C4%81na_in_Buddhism https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dhy%C4%81na_in_Buddhism Experiencing dhyāna is possible without achieving samadhi, but it is very unstable Csikszentmihalyi flow state implies that one is involved in some activity, but in dhyānas you don't need to do anything.
- andrewzah 5y agoFlow is completely, totally different. GP is discussing self-reflection and learning to be mindful of oneself and one's surroundings - which is basically meditation.
