    Default The Pathologization of Flow

    In positive psychology, a flow state, also known colloquially as being in the zone, is the mental state in which a person performing some activity is fully immersed in a feeling of energized focus, full involvement, and enjoyment in the process of the activity. In essence, flow is characterized by the complete absorption in what one does, and a resulting transformation in one's sense of time.

    Named by the psychologist Mihály Csíkszentmihályi in 1970, the concept has been widely referred to across a variety of fields (and is particularly well recognized in occupational therapy), though the concept has been claimed to have existed for thousands of years under other names.

    In 2021 I was involuntarily committed for eating printouts of Wilbur Smith book covers but mainly printouts of Wilbur Smith.

    The facts:

    - 33 year old adult.

    - Used my own pocket money to buy non toxic printer ink.

    - Printed flattering photos of Mr. Smith.

    - Consumed the printouts in the privacy of my own parents' home.

    - Fully clothed and sober.

    - Maintained personal hygiene throughout.

    - Slept regularly.

    - Still ate food and drank water.

    - Interacted with my family cordially and answered their questions rationally.

    - Was neither livestreaming it nor posting it on social media.

    - Didn't try to contact him. I didn't impose on him in any way.
    Everywhere across whatever sorrows of which our life is woven, some radiant joy will gaily flash past.
