Are You in the Flow? 7 Key Signs

Maybe you start reading a book, or writing something, or playing a musical instrument, and suddenly hours have gone by before you know it. Ever wonder what causes you to reach such a state? I recommend the video below from psychologist Mihaly Czikszentmihalyi’s TED talk on “flow” – the state of mind we enter when we are fully engaged in an activity we find intrinsically rewarding. It runs a little under 20 minutes long and is well worth viewing. (Click through to the post if you don’t see the video below.)

Now, as the mom of a high school senior, I have a different take on the high-school resumé. While learning about the college-application process, I discovered that this document was not supposed to remake my nearly adult child into the most stellar applicant ever (though, certainly, there are students who reasonably have such a goal) but to show who he is. More precisely, its purpose is to shed light on how he spent his time, what novel and difficult situations he encountered, and what he valued (evidenced by how he allocated his hours in high school), whether in sync with his parent's desires or not.
