Being in flow is usually a sign of you being immersed in an activity.

Behavioural scientists have taken that to signify you enjoying the activity, being fully engaged and in the zone.

If you’re looking to find answers to what you might be good at and enjoy, being in that state might provide a clue.

In this zeitgeist of purpose-seeking, the act of flow has become grandiose and seemingly elusive.

For those seeking their gifts, may I suggest prioritising action over excessive thinking.

Doing a variety of things will allow you to discover what you enjoy, what you’re good at and what you can make money from.

If your worry is about wasting time doing things that have low return on investment, you can always pause or stop the activity. The choice is yours.

However, it is almost always beneficial to do it rather than think about it. It’s an entirely different experience having done it than to assume you know what it entails.
