i am a firm believer in the flow. this is being so completely immersed in an activity that you are actually transcended into a state of rapture . . . losing complete awareness of time, people, distractions, and even basic bodily needs. being in the flow has been medically proven to result in basic happiness. i can attest to this. for me, playing the piano puts me in the flow like nothing else. i can play for hours and it will seem like minutes. i can play with the radio on and not even notice it. i can be starving, tired, full bladdered, etc . . . and it does not matter.
i start my day by getting into the flow, and i truly believe this is a direct link to my happiness. i THANK my mom for starting my piano lessons at age 4 and for “encouraging” me to keep up with it.
