Do you have dreams that you have not yet fulfilled? You know, such simple-looking dreams, like drawing in the evenings, collecting collections of flowers, dancing salsa, doing handstands, riding a bike, writing a diary? Why is it so important to do things where you don’t have to prove, set deadlines, for the sake of success, results, but just immerse yourself in the process? To understand the importance of such actions, let’s turn to the professor of psychology, author of books on the topic of flow, flow state, Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi. The professor calls such actions “autelic” “Autotelic an activity is an activity that we engage in for its own sake, since our main goal is the experience of this activity. For example, if I played chess only in order to enjoy the game, then the game would be an autotelic experience for me. whereas, if I were playing for money or to win a high place in the chess world, then the same game would be an exotelic experience, that is, motivated by external goals. As for an autotelic personality, it means a person who mainly does something for the sake of this activity itself, and not in order to achieve some external goal. “What does autotelic activity give: 1. It takes a person out of a state of boredom and reaction creativity and joy.2. A person begins to develop, realizes more, expands his potential. In autelic activity there is no awareness of “I am doing”, there is only a flow and after completion the person receives insights, an understanding of himself, a person comes into contact with his inner essence. 3. Relieves tension and stress, unnecessary thoughts. 4. Gives deep satisfaction from life. It is amazing how embroidery can bring peace and confidence, and planting gladioli - a feeling of joy and pleasure. Such actions have no effective benefits, like getting money, fame and other social bonuses, but this helps improve the QUALITY of life. If an inner critic, perfectionist or entrepreneur interferes with autelic activity, then the essence of the process is lost, the MUST, BECOME THE BEST appears again, and an external stimulus appears. Autelic activity is recommended for those who do not understand " his destiny”, does not know what he wants, what to do. We engage in flow activities in early childhood - in games, walks, lying on the floor in the sun, climbing. These actions make no sense from the standpoint of external motivation. But there is an internal meaning - To Be. What actions cause the described sensations in you?
