Diskussion ang. "State" och "i sitt eget huvud"

[Schlinus]

Jag tror att "state" inte bara hittas inom Pickup osv, jag tror det är samma känsla som när du presterar maximalt i en sport, när du är helt uppslukad av en syssla.

Om du har någon koll på det psykologiska begreppet
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flow_(psychology) )
Läser du på där lite som kommer du förstå likheten mellan flow och "state" Helt enkelt är "state" när din koncentration är till 100% på det sociala omkring dig

Challenges to staying in flow
Some of the challenges to staying in flow include states of apathy, boredom, and anxiety. Being in a state of apathy is characterized when challenges are low and one’s skill level is low producing a general lack of interest in the task at hand. Boredom is slightly different state in that it occurs when challenges are low, but one’s skill level exceeds those challenges causing one to seek higher challenges. Lastly, a state of anxiety occurs when challenges are so high that they exceed one’s skill level causing one great distress and uneasiness. These states in general differ from being in a state of flow, in that flow occurs when challenges matches one’s skill level.

In every given moment, there is a great deal of information made available to each individual. Psychologists have found that one's mind can attend to only a certain amount of information at a time. According to Mihaly's 1956 study, that number is about 126 bits of information per second. That may seem like a large number (and a lot of information), but simple daily tasks take quite a lot of information. Just having a conversation takes about 40 bits of information per second; that's 1/3 of one's capacity. That is why when having a conversation one cannot focus as much attention on other things.
For the most part (except for basic bodily feelings like hunger and pain, which are innate), people are able to decide what they want to focus their attention on. However, when one is in the flow state, he or she is completely engrossed with the one task at hand and, without making the conscious decision to do so, loses awareness of all other things: time, people, distractions, and even basic bodily needs. This occurs because all of the attention of the person in the flow state is on the task at hand; there is no more attention to be allocated.

Nakamura and Csíkszentmihályi identify the following six factors as encompassing an experience of flow.

1 intense and focused concentration on the present moment
2 merging of action and awareness
3 a loss of reflective self-consciousness
4 a sense of personal control or agency over the situation or activity
5 a distortion of temporal experience, one's subjective experience of time is altered
6 experience of the activity as intrinsically rewarding, also referred to as autotelic experience

har precis läst en otroligt bra bok "Flow : den optimala upplevelsens psykologi
av Mihaly Csíkszentmihályi" Där han går igenom hur det upplevs av folk, och vad resultatet blir.

Jag tror stenhårt att flow is the way to go
