practice makes flow

A friend pointed out this article to me from Mark Hyman:

http://drhyman.com/blog/2012/07/31/why-falling-off-the-wagon-can-benefit-you/?utm_source=WhatCounts+Publicaster+Edition&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=drhyman+newsletter+issue+%2385&utm_content=Get+the+story

I really like this article.  He suggests a 90:10 rule to keep you from falling into the trap of perfectionism, which can lead to trouble when you fall of the wagon for whatever reason.  He talks about Hungarian psychologist Csikszentmihaly's concept of flow, in regards to your general life as well as your eating style.  I read Csikszentmihaly's book with the same title and thought it was very good. Also, Hyman reminds us that our ultimate goal is to be happy.  Nice article.
