Baking as a form of flow
Complete immersion in an activity.
Intrinsically positive experience.
Melting together of action and consciousness.
Positive mental state experienced when you're completely absorbed, focused, and involved in an activity.
All of these definitions of flow state describe me 'being in the zone' when baking.
An activity that allows me to harness intense focus, express inner creativity, gain confidence trying new techniques, build determination when facing adversity, without breaking a sweat. It's not a skillset I want to monetize nor advertise, just me and my baking zen.
The results are pretty delicious too. What gets you in the zone?
