    Be in Full Flow for Self Care

    The more you remain in the state of flow, the more you realize that it is self care. This is something I have realized ever since I got enlightened on the concept of Flow.

    As mentioned in the iconic book Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi, I have understood that the best tip to remain happy is to spend more time with self doing things that lead to fufillment.
