Flow, Long-Term Goals and Stress Management

While being immersed in any kind of flow state (where time evaporates) is desirable, those with long-term goals seem to be the most fulfilling. Studying technical content like Math can be so absorbing that time and mind disappear making the 'problem at hand' more pressing and pleasing than any other problem one may have.

It would be interesting for mental health professionals to recommend brain fitness exercises as a stress management strategy.
