It started when a family friend told us she would say that when someone asked her opinion of something that she didn't care for. Love it! And I find myself taking frequent breaks during the day to reboot my mind. I like working later in the evening when things are quieting down. That must be my flow... “That’s interesting” is something my family has said for years!

My husband is always reminding me to take a break and refresh myself. And I admit I'm severely guilty of "5 more minutes" syndrome. But stepping away can work wonders for your mindset and your imagination. Everyone deserves that time and space ... all we have to do is take it.

I, like you, have pretty much mastered the productive energy. This girl knows how to get things done!! However, I have a really hard time coming down and being in the flow. Since I have had my yoga and meditation teacher training, I am doing better. Each morning I have an hour and a half Sadhana with yoga and meditation, which helps me get into the flow. However, once my three boys are up, all that tends to turn into productive energy. I am still a work in progress. I find the flow when I can. Your article has inspired me to find it more often.

I describe Flow as "losing yourself doing something you care about" and follow Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi's lead on its description and how to achieve it: clear challenging goals you have the opportunity to focus on and skills to actually achieve, that sense of timelessness and selflessness. I love it. I'm in it now. Hi Andrea – I like your idea about flow, and subscribe to Flow as the ultimate state of engagement, maybe even the main goal in doing anything.
