After reading a famous book, I believe everyone has accumulated their own reading comprehension. At this time, how can the most critical feeling of reading fall! So how should we write the post-reading? The following is my thoughts on reading Flow, which is carefully arranged for reference only. Welcome to read it. After reading Flow, I feel 1
Flow is a state of full energy and high concentration when I devote myself to one thing. Wholeheartedness means that concentration reaches a peak; Doing something you like shows that you are very happy instead of feeling pain when you do it. In the process of flow, you are very focused and relaxed at the same time. In this state of flow, a person doesn't even feel the existence of time, and after this thing is completed, he will feel full of energy and very satisfied.
It is said in the book that whether we are happy or not, and whether our hearts are harmonious or not, has nothing to do with our ability to control the universe. Money, status and power can only bring a temporary sense of control and satisfaction, but they may not necessarily improve the quality of inner experience. The pursuit of inner harmony, only from the control of consciousness, become a "self-enjoying." What people are most afraid of is their own evaluation of things, not the things themselves, that is to say, the same thing will bring different experiences if you interpret it differently. When we do something, if we have a clear goal, the process has certain challenges, and our skills match this challenge, and we can get feedback continuously in the process, then we can concentrate all our mental energy on this matter. The result is not important, the key is this process, you can experience happiness when you reach the state of "flow" here.
There are many examples about music or sports in the book, that is to say, many people will get a lot of flow when they are involved in hobbies, and they can enjoy life, such as sensory pleasures: sports, listening to music, reading books, enjoying food, etc. Joy of thinking: memory, writing, daydreaming, speech, etc. Joy of work: innovating working methods, changing working thinking, etc. Interpersonal happiness: making friends, treating your spouse as a friend, enjoying yourself when you are alone, etc.
It is also mentioned in the book that the key to flow is the balance between skills and challenges. When skills outweigh challenges, people will feel bored; And when the challenge is greater than the skill, you will feel anxious. When the skill proficiency is far greater than the challenge difficulty, people's mental state is relaxed. When the challenge difficulty rises and the skill proficiency remains unchanged, people are in a state of control. For example, when driving, if people can accurately grasp the objective risks existing in the surrounding environment, they will have a sense of control, that is, they will not be troubled by the surrounding environment. When skill proficiency and challenge difficulty reach a peak at the same time, flow occurs. When the challenge is too difficult and the skill proficiency in handling things can't keep up, the state of anxiety, at this time to enhance skills, will transition from self-motivation to flow experience. People who are highly concentrated will lose their sense of time and have a feeling of forgetting me.
Interest is the best teacher, and it is also an important way to guide people into flow. For example, athletes, scientists, artists, etc., are all easy to enter the flow experience, because they can always devote themselves to their fields of interest and are very focused.
Happiness doesn't happen instantly, it has nothing to do with luck and probability, it can't be bought with money, it is not manipulated by external things, but depends on our interpretation of external things.
Happiness depends on personal practice, full preparation in advance, deliberate cultivation and maintenance. Only those who learn to control the mind can decide their own quality of life; With this ability, it is equivalent to approaching the realm of happiness.
Music, food, and sports can make people flow and feel happy. If you can continue to invest in these fields and reach the level of professional analysis, people's happiness will double. Therefore, it is best to learn musical instruments from an early age, but it is never too late. But the purpose of learning is not to show off, but to experience itself. After reading Heart Flow 2
When I first saw Heart Flow, I thought it was just an ordinary book about chicken soup for the soul. After reading Flow for the first time, I know that it is a scientific work, and I can solve the happiness problem that psychology can't solve all the time through scientific research methods. Many authors of books refer to the research results of Flow and then get their academic results. Read "Flow of Heart" again, and read it again and again to deepen my understanding. It taught me how to improve my happiness and gain the ability to be happy.
what is true happiness? How can we improve happiness? Happiness can't be measured. The author of Flow of Heart thinks that happiness comes from our inner order. By introducing the concept of "entropy" in physics, the concept of "spiritual entropy" is put forward. It is believed that the disorder of our spirit is related to the pain of life, and the threat of information to people's conscious goals and structures will lead to inner disorder. The opposite of "spiritual entropy" is the optimal experience, which is the concept of "flow". When you devote yourself wholeheartedly to something, to the extent of selflessness, and thus gain inner order and peace, a great sense of satisfaction sneaks into your heart and makes you feel happy. This is the experience of "flow", and the appearance of "flow" feeling is real happiness.
jogging against the wind, the bad mood is excreted with sweat; On the subway, I read a good book and actually sat in many stations; The efficiency of going to work one day is extremely high, and the problems of the previous day are easily solved; These are all "flow" experiences in life. The author of the book has done a lot of surveys, and the survey results show that 54% of the "flow" situation occurs at work, and 18% of the "flow" situation occurs in leisure. The leisure way with no quality and pure laissez-faire and constant "entropy" increase can not bring people the experience of "flow". In modern life, work takes up a lot of our time. If we can learn to identify and find ways to create more flow experiences, we can turn every working opportunity into an intoxicated moment.
how to obtain "flow"? It is mentioned in the book that the key to flow is the balance between skills and challenges. When skills outweigh challenges, people will feel bored; And when the challenge is greater than the skill, you will feel anxious. When the skill proficiency is far greater than the challenge difficulty, people's mental state is relaxed. When the challenge difficulty rises and the skill proficiency remains unchanged, people are in a state of control. For example, when driving, if people can accurately grasp the objective risks existing in the surrounding environment, they will have a sense of control, that is, they will not be troubled by the surrounding environment. When skill proficiency and challenge difficulty reach a peak at the same time, flow occurs.
When the challenge is too difficult to keep up with the skill proficiency in dealing with things, the state of anxiety, at this time, will enhance skills, and will transition from self-motivation to flow experience. People who are highly concentrated will lose their sense of time and have a feeling of forgetting me. Unity of knowing and doing, full devotion, and flow of mind can only be obtained if you are not in a tall position. Even if your job is simple and you do simple actions every day, if you are very devoted to doing this job, you will definitely enjoy it.
Flow systematically expounds the theory of flow, the conditions of entering the flow state and the methods of obtaining flow in daily life, paving the way for people to be stable and happy. The more you grow up, the more you can feel the power of books, calm people's hearts and point out the direction. 3
The book Flow tells us that when we devote ourselves wholeheartedly to a thing and reach the level of selflessness, our hearts are in a state of order and peace, and we will feel happy in this state.
flow, the source of happiness
flow is a state in which a person is completely immersed in some activity and ignores the existence of other things. When we are in a state of flow, we will feel extremely happy and have the ability to control our actions and dominate our own destiny without being led by inexplicable forces. Mihaly defined this experience as "optimal experience".
Mihaly found that happiness has nothing to do with money and luck. It is not manipulated by external things, but depends on our interpretation of the outside world.
In fact, happiness is a kind of ability, which needs us to cultivate and maintain deliberately, and we need to learn to control our own mind.
If you want to be happy, you should first control your own consciousness.
Key words of flow, growth
Flow experience has a * * * similarity, which brings a new discovery and a sense of creativity, and brings the parties into a new reality. It urges a person to perform better, and makes consciousness reach a realm that was never dreamed of in the past.
Elements of flow
1. Challenging activities
What we choose to do should match our abilities. If things are too difficult to start, we will feel anxious, and if things are too simple, we will have no fun.
2. Unity of knowing and doing and full attention
When we focus on challenging tasks, our attention is highly concentrated. At this time, our minds are not disturbed by any external objects, and everything is just to achieve our goals. The process consumes a lot of physical energy and uses superb skills.
3. Clear objectives and timely feedback
4. Being in control
We need to have a sense of control over our activities.
5. oblivious to myself
Different people will make different results for the same thing. What we want to have a flow experience is not what we do, but how we do it. When we are in the best state, we can experience the flow.
6. Abnormal sense of time
In the state of flow, the perception of time will change, sometimes it feels that time passes so fast, and sometimes it feels so slow.
looking for flow in daily life
everyone can get flow experience in all aspects of daily life through training.
If you want your children to have a self-satisfied personality and have a good influence on their flow experience, then try to create a family environment with the following characteristics.
"clarity"-in the interactive relationship with children, the goal is clear and the feedback is timely, so that children can clearly grasp the expectations of their parents.
"Pay attention"-show great interest in what children are doing, their specific feelings and experiences.
"choice"-let children have their own choices, even if they choose not to listen to their parents, as long as they are prepared to bear the consequences.
"devotion"-let children have enough confidence to do what they are interested in wholeheartedly.
"Challenge"-Parents arrange complicated and gradual action opportunities for their children.
In short, everyone wants to have happiness, and I have been trying to find it, because I always feel that I am not happy enough. After reading the book Flow today, I understand that happiness is not a result, but an incidental phenomenon in the process of action, which is a flow experience generated by our engaging in an activity. This experience is worth exploring for each of us! Thoughts after reading Flow 4
I finally finished reading this not-so-thick Flow of Life in one breath, and felt a lot.
This is a book that teaches us how to live and how to find happiness. It is obvious that each of us has individual differences. It is undeniable that everyone's family background and growing environment have a great influence on their own life, but choosing a happy life depends on their own autonomy.
as long as a person is not very poor, even if he is given more gold, silver and jewels, his happiness will not necessarily improve. Indeed, this is better than asking a hungry person to eat a cake. Only a few cakes before he is full will bring him happiness. On the contrary, if he exceeds the limit, the happy feeling brought by the cake will decrease, and even have a negative impact. It is very appropriate to call this "diminishing marginal effect" in economics. After we get the basic living conditions, we should turn to pursue our ideals and set our goals in life. As the book says, "Without dreams and risks, life becomes insignificant".
The focus of this book is "flow", which is what we call inspiration for doing things. Strangely, however, when we relax and watch TV or surf the Internet, we get very little flow and feeling. But when we pick up a pen to work or study, we get the greatest flow. The reason is that we set clear goals, concentrate on what we do. What kind of person you will be shaped into is ultimately influenced by the goals you pursue. If a person lacks a consistent goal, he will be half-hearted and difficult to carry out from beginning to end. There is no doubt that some people are really talented in some aspects. They are very sensitive to music and numbers, but if they want to be real musicians and mathematicians, they need to constantly put in energy to practice. This reminds me of "deliberate practice".
after work and life, we should also learn to relax. Generally speaking, our leisure focuses on TV and surfing the Internet. In fact, we also have our own hobbies, such as music and sports. However, these hobbies require us too much preparation time, so we often choose TV in a short time, that is, "passive leisure". Passive leisure does not require us to spend too much energy and is not challenging, so it is easy, but at the same time, we will not get much fun. Too much passive leisure will also make us feel relaxed and unable to concentrate. Therefore, in our daily leisure, we should cultivate our hobbies. Even if we make great efforts, on the contrary, we get great fun, and at the same time, we will cultivate our own healthy leisure way.
In our life, after work and leisure, we are socializing. People are social animals. We need the company of family and friends. We need someone to share our happiness and our pain. Social activities bring us the greatest happiness. Those who suffer from depression are often normal when they are in contact with the outside world, but when they are alone, they will trigger their inner fears. Therefore, communicating with people will touch our hearts and make us feel more happy.
