How to Use Flow In The Job Search

What is "flow"? Flow as described by the psychology professor and educator, Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi, is a state of being and behavior. The behavior is one of complete absorption in a task. It is a transcendent state of being.

An example would be of a musician whose playing causes the person playing to lose sight of time, place & circumstances. Some people have called this a "divine rapture".

How can a job seeker find "flow"? More often there is tension, worry, frustration, anger, despair. It sounds as if a rapturous state of mind is beyond comprehension as one looks for a job.

There are all of the preparatory steps: A resume, filling in applications, interviews and phoning. These are necessary functions of the job search.

But what if a person looking for a job could see a larger picture; one in which he or she moves towards non-worry and does "go with the flow" of events, putting the negativity of being rejected or stressed into a state of inner knowing that he/she is doing everything right?

"Flow" sounds right for the job seeker to use. It could make the current job search the best one of all.
