 Wikipedia defines Flow as " Flow is the mental state of operation in which a person in an activity is fully immersed in a feeling of energized focus, full involvement, and success in the process of the activity" It goes on to add ... "Proposed by Mihály Csíkszentmihályi, thepositive psychology concept has been widely referenced across a variety of fields.[1]According to Csikszentmihalyi, flow is completely focused motivation. It is a single-minded immersion and represents perhaps the ultimate in harnessing the emotions in the service of performing and learning. In flow, the emotions are not just contained and channeled, but positive, energized, and aligned with the task at hand I have to agree with Wiki and Csikszentmihalyi. When I have my hoop on, I become immersed in a feeling of energized focus, I am fully involved in my movement and how the hoop reacts to it. Finding success in the process. Flow.  There is just something magical about a hula hoop. The mere sight of one brings back childhood memories of playing with it for hours. Picking up a hula hoop and giving it a whirl fosters smiles and laughter. It gives us permission to be silly, to laugh at ourselves, to let go and have fun.
