GET IN YOUR ZONE = Your Zone Determines Your Tone

GET IN YOUR ZONE  =  Your Zone Determines Your Tone

The only way to set your tone is to get in your zone

To get into the Zone you need to focus your mind for at least 1/2 hour. Flow happens in the moment when your feeling of time vanishes and you basically forget about time. I personally reached flow-states after 45 to 75 minutes and stayed there for at least 2 to even 5 hours. My best quality work comes from those times.

ZONE is often considered the domain of elite athletes, musicians, and actors, but the truth is, we all have the potential to experience it and when we do, it can enrich our lives. While individual experiences of BEING IN THE ZONE can vary, they tend to be characterized by:

• An intense, undivided focus on the activity 
• The merging of action and awareness. Actions become effortless, senses are heightened and feedback about how you are doing is available immediately.
• Our ego settles down and we feel uninhibited, somehow going beyond ourselves 
• A sense of personal control and a feeling that we have the potential to succeed 
• Time becomes distorted—slowing down in the moment and yet flying by in retrospect 
• Pure enjoyment of the activity itself
