问题     Maintaining flow is similar to catching a current in the ocean. Once you’re in it, you seem to be gliding with the flow rather than almost trying to hold on to it. It’s something that just comes to you and you stay with it.
    Flow is when a person is in a highly focused mental state where nothing else seems to matter.
    It occurs when your perceived skill level and the challenge at hand are equal, and you are as in control of your mind and body as you can be.
    The key aspects of flow are being able to perform a task seemingly automatically, having an absolute concentration on the task at hand, maintain a sense of control over the performance and a loss of self-consciousness.
    When it comes to sport, many athletes focus on the outcome of the game, the match or the race, the desire to win, or they become distracted by how they played in the last point. When athletes dwell on these egocentric thoughts we’ll often see them start to lose focus and their performance starts to deteriorate. The most difficult thing about staying in flow is external things. Your opponent is obviously can be one of the most distracting things, and just isolate yourself sometimes from your opponent and simply focus on what you’re doing helps for more focus and flow display.
    Although being in a state of flow is something that’s usually associated with high-level athletes. It’s something that potentially anyone is able to achieve. From playing an instrument to a surgeon carrying out a complex operation. But what can you do to give yourself the best possible change for achieving a state of flow?
    Here are my tips to help increase the probability of flow in your everyday life. Sports psychologist Bob Rotella highlighted the importance of letting go of memories of shots, and focus on the here and now, as it really helps you focus on the process and what you’re specifically doing at that moment in time.
    This could be achieved through setting mastery orientated goals, and you can recite to yourself at times throughout the performance. Give yourself immediate feedback. A key characteristic of flow is immediate feedback. This can be provided by teammates, coaches or yourself as you complete the activity. When possible, try to figure out what you’re doing well and why as well as what you can be doing better and how. This will make you an active learner and aid the development of future goals and targets necessary to achieve your desired outcome.
    Be a better practitioner of your skills, not a goal chaser. This feedback can be based on your pre-set mastery of orientated goals. Am I achieving these or not? What can I do to achieve these? Doing this as quickly as possible will help you effectively move on from situations, and focus on the present. Challenge yourself. If the task is too easy then focus is extremely difficult to achieve and it may become tedious.
    If the task is too difficult you may feel anxious about whether or not you can meet the demands. Make sure you always set yourself goals that match your skill level, but also challenge you. When you achieve these goals, set yourself more challenging targets in order to remain in flow. I personally find flow quite easy to remain in but hard to find. But once you find it, you’re in the zone and, as it says, you just flow through the match.
What kind of goal should we set to help ourselves to have flow?

选项 A、The easier, the better.
B、The more difficult, the better.
C、The more challenging, the better.
D、The more matched with skill, the better.

答案D

解析 根据文章最后二段可知,越简单的目标,越难进入心流状态,反而会很无聊(tedious)。越难的目标则会让你焦虑。反而是与自己能力相匹配的目标,才有利于自己处于心流状态中。因此,正确答案为D。
