Don is a writer and when he sits down in front of his computer he can write for hours, forgetting to eat and ignoring his phone because he is intensely engaged in writing. While he is writing, Don is experiencing ________.

In the field of psychology, flow is described as the mental state in which a person submits when immersed in a task or an activity that he considers to be of the utmost importance or interest. The person who is in "flow" has all his mental and physical energy set to achieve the goal he has. This action in some cases can become counterproductive.

In the case of Don, he is indeed a writer and as such he has a great demand for things to write, but if he gets to the point of not taking a moment to rest and eat this can cause serious health problems. Don will not only be mentally tired, but he may also experience stomach problems because he has not eaten anything, has not hydrated and has been sitting for a long time, which can cause back problems.

While it is true that it is important to be focused on a task to achieve the desired result, this should not be something that in the long term can put a person's health at risk. In every activity, there must be a balance and although society today indeed calls the population to be more productive in the shortest possible time, many times taking this very seriously can make the person at the end of the day Don't feel good Balance is crucial in whatever the person does. Don must take the time to sleep properly and eat.
