The metaphor of flow is used to describe the sense of effortless action it takes to perform at one’s absolute best. In order to reach the place where optimal performance is possible, there needs to be a healthy balance between the challenge at hand and your personal skill level (see chart).
As an instructor, it isn't always easy to find that zone between arousal and boredom. I am mindful when instructing that I try to bring in experience and situations where students will relate. It will be then and there, where the students will be motivated to learn, and feeling fully immersed in the activity for optimal learning.
It is a task to learn from the students and what their level of skill will be to determine the challenge.
