Kylie Woodrum "Flow"

In "Image and Pilgrimage in Christian Culture," Turner describes the idea of flow. Flow is when someone is focused but not self-conscious of their mental state. I often experience flow when I'm studying. I immerse myself in the material and do not acknowledge the world around me. Often many hours pass and when I finally break free from my immersion I feel as if it has only been a few minutes. When I am in my flow state I experience high concentration and persistence to finish whatever I am doing. I usually do not become aware of my state until I have reached my goal of completion.
