In positive psychology, flow, also known as the zone, is the mental state of operation in which a person performing an activity is fully immersed in a feeling of energized focus, full involvement, and enjoyment in the process of the activity. In essence, flow is characterized by complete absorption in what one does. Self-flow is one level upper than flow in the aspect of mind power. Individuals who have strong mental capabilities have an interior power to create impetus for themselves. These kind of people know how to change their way of life and to prosper.
