Thanks for coming back! I appreciate your viewing.

Flow is easiest to achieve when:

  • You perceive that your skills are good enough to match the perceived difficulty of the contest.
  • The competition is not so easy that you become bored and do not concentrate.
  • You have distraction under control
  • You are paying full attention to the performance, with no analysis of errors or technique
  • You are relaxed and alert
  • You are thinking positively, and have eliminated all negative thoughts
  • It is allowed to develop, and not forced
  • You have practiced and trained attention

 The following things in particular are avoided:

  • Wanting to win
  • Show off
  • Wanting to frighten or terrify the opponent
  • The desire to be reactive and not take the initiative
  • Trying so hard to achieve the correct state of mind that you distract yourself.
