|
Daily meaningful activities
|
|
|
|
using skills you already have
|
|
|
|
gets you into flow.

Flow frequently brings **outcomes**:
|
|
|
|
- emotional outcomes (makes us happy)
|
|
- material outcomes (fruits of our labour)
|
|
|

|
Outcomes keep us going.

### But sometimes...
|
|
|
|
we get derailed by bad mood
|
|
|
|
- by negative events or emotions around us <!-- .element: class="fragment" -->
|
|
- due to our own failing <!-- .element: class="fragment" -->
|
|
- by recalling a negative past <!-- .element: class="fragment" -->
|
|
|
|
and lose our flow.
|
|

|
|
|
|
Negativity captures our attention
|
|
|
|
more than positivity.
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
#### So we stay down
|
|
|
|
due to the negative feedback loop:
|
|
|
|
Negativity and pessimism reinforce themselves.<!-- .element: class="fragment" -->
|
|
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
We need **emotional stability** to keep us going.

#### Hamster in a box
