I just watched a movie about happiness; and it really opened my mind about skating! They were speaking about FLOW, and the emotions we experience from doing something we love. Our brain lights up with activity when we push ourselves to accomplish difficult tasks. Something that is physically challenging. Something we do alone, with little material gain.
Yet, we do it because we enjoy it.
This type of activity is what truly makes people HAPPY. It's what allows us to escape from our stressful lives. It's what makes us appreciate the World. It pushes us on a personal level. It makes us want to improve. To be better.
This FLOW they spoke of, is exactly what I experience when I'm skating. I felt it on rollerblades, and I feel it even more-so learning how to skateboard. It's like a drug. It's addictive.
