## Outcomes
---
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.

- by recalling a negative past <!-- .element: class="fragment" -->
and lose our flow.

Negativity captures our attention
more than positivity.

We need **emotional stability** to keep us going.
