Abstract
Teaching others how to manage the complexities and stress of everyday living has become a cottage industry in healthcare. Here, Donnelly contends that the notion of balance in one's life is relativistic at best, where she relates "flow" into it as situations in which a person's attention is freely and completely invested in achieving a goal or an objective. "Flow" is a concept first described by the psychologist Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi, who was also a qualitative researcher. According to Donnelly, "flow" can be one of the best and enduring approaches to stress management.
