Day 41. Studies show Tetris helps alleviate worry. Kate Sweeney, a Psychologist at UC Riverside says the game, “[Induces] the state of flow where you’re completely absorbed or engaged in an activity; the rest of the world falls away; you lose your self-awareness; time [flies] by.” Flow boosts mood and manages stress. You can achieve the flow state with any activity that grabs your attention and doesn’t let it go. When I think of the flow state I think of Kobe’s 81 point game; Michael Jordan’s “flu game;”Mike Powell and Carl Lewis in that dramatic 1991 Long Jump Final at the World Track/Field Championships, Tara Lipinski’s 1998 Free Skate for Olympic Gold in Nagano, Serena Williams in the 2007 Australian Open Final against Sharapova; countless others! If Tetris can get me halfway to their level of greatness before races, I’ll take it! #writersofinstagram #6wordmemoir #nanowrimo #justdoit #tetris #serenawilliams #carllewis #mikepowell #michaeljordan #kobebryant #taralipinski #sport https://www.instagram.com/p/Bp0ZJZDhM--/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=yy7k1eqw8ua0
