When were you last in the zone?

I was mentoring with a client yesterday and we were discussing examples in our lives where we were “in the zone”

You know that ‘state of mind’ where time slows down to a millisecond and you have all the time in the world to do a task, set of tasks or a day full of tasks.

Where you do everything effortlessly and you seem to come up with ideas, actions and outcomes that even you don’t know where they came from!

Your slogan isn’t ‘just do it’ it’s even better than that, it is Just Did It!

Being in the zone is defined as In positive psychology, it is the mental state of operation in which a person performing an activity is fully immersed in a feeling of energized focus, full involvement, and enjoyment in the process of the activity. In essence, being in the zone is characterized by complete absorption in what one does.

So passionate, completely immersed, nothing distracts you and you get what you need to get done, easily. Can you remember when you were in the zone last?

How do you get in the zone and how do you stay there?

Passionate – do something that you love or do what you are doing because the pay off will give you the time or money to do something that you love
Focused – when you do something that you love or to get something that you love, you will become solely focused on that task and the outcome you get from the task
Practiced – when you do something that you are committed to, you practice it over and over again, simply because you love it. They say the difference between knowing nothing on a subject and being one of the best at it in the world (with access to all the information on the internet these days) you can become an expert in 7 short years, well that could really be 5, 3 or even 2 years now.
Confident- with practice, tasks become second nature. Repetition is the mother of skill. Being skilled at a task leads to confidence and you project that confidence.
Competent – when you practice you become confident and ultimately competent. When you are competent you become the go to person in your industry, region or area of specialty.

A compilation of the above results in you performing in the zone, regularly
