Ok, flow state is enjoyable. But I think it is precious enough that we just don’t get it that easily. We have to put some energy into the system to decrease the entropy, so that we reach that holy grail of flow state. And that need to put initial activation energy is off putting enough, that most people never get to the flow state regularly.
Happened to me for past few months. I was just looking for some kind of activity that would gripe me and calm my stupid brain. But no activity just gripes you as soon as you start doing it. Ok no activity except maybe sex. But that isn’t long lasting, so there’s that. In every other activity you first need to slog for some hours or days, and then comes that flow state which makes it all worthwhile. When me and my brother played that long-ball kippie uppies, we needed to get through some minutes before getting into that zone. So yeah, from next time maybe don’t dread any activity too much and just put some hours or days or weeks in to get to that precious flow state. It’ll be worth it.
