Flow

Being “in the zone” or “on auto-pilot” are all ways to describe what the Japanese call “MUGA”, and what Dr. Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi termed “FLOW” in the 1980′s. Flow can be defined as a period in time in which one becomes so completely involved in an activity that all other thoughts and emotions [the “self”] are excluded from consciousness. It is during this experience that an individual is in the much desired, yet elusive mental state, required to push his or her limits in the quest for peak performance. While many individuals view flow as a philosophical idea, we at Fidelity Security Solutions view it as vital to any type of formal training. It enhances a person’s awareness, improves their mood, and most importantly, enables them to perform at a level of proficiency they would not otherwise be capable. This mental state of cognizance is what we strive to instill in all teachers in our school systems today, through the use of our signature ASI course. We as combat veterans understand this concept extremely well, as we have experienced times of heightened stress in which our performance was paramount. Our training and mindset allowed the mind to switch to a state of consciousness that allowed the body to operate and not be affected by the situation at hand. We intend to teach and instruct those very life saving techniques to educators around the nation, subsequently creating safer schools, and an environment in which the youth of America may flourish.
