, a performance coaching company, which teamed up with psychologists from Hofstra University to conduct a study on how they can leverage the concept of "flow," a coveted optimal state of consciousness with high performance and satisfaction often reported by high achievers, in the workplace. They found that having short periodic breaks dedicated to exercise, meditation and goal setting can help increase flow while working, which in turn can prevent burnout.
" doesn't necessarily put us straight into flow but it's one of those first steps that gets us focused on a task, and flow follows focus," Bertram said. "Flow can be an intentional practice but a lot of people think of it as just this thing that happens magically, when all the stars and the universe aligns and we get this crazy performance out of ourselves."
At the end of the month, Bertram and his team found that their interventions doubled the amount of reported flow and quadrupled the amount of reported engagement with their work. This increase in flow led to a decrease in reported stress and stability in the physiological symptoms.
