English term or phrase: moments of flow.
It’s clear that we learn most in our comfort zones, because that’s where our neural pathways are most concentrated. It’s where we’re most open to possibility, most creative,
insightful, and productive. That’s where feedback must meet us—in our moments of flow.

Reference: flow - a highly-focused mental state conducive to creativity

Reference information:
Explanation:
flow - a state of mental activity discovered and named by Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi, a Hungarian-American psychologist.

Csikszentmihalyi’s work culminated in his definition of a distinctive characteristic of creative people: the capacity to experience “flow,” which he defined as the timeless and total involvement of individuals in the activity with which they are engaged. Persons experiencing a flow have a sense that their abilities are only just equal to the challenges at hand, and they become caught up in the creative process in order to achieve their goal. Notably, Csikszentmihalyi adduced the possibility that some creative people pursue flow as a form of escapism, insofar as immersion in the creative process provides them with feelings of comfort or control. The concept of flow can also be likened to what psychological researchers have identified as “intrinsic motivation”—that is, a motivation arising from intense autonomous interest in the work at hand. This is complemented by “extrinsic motivation,” which stems from a desire to fulfill goals that have been established by another person or organization.
