The zone is an incredible experience that I hope everyone gets to experience on a regular basis.
The experience is magical that is almost like a blend between intense focus and daydreaming. It is a feeling of euphoria, contentment, and passion.
The zone brings out so much energy and is much like meditating for me. You relax the mind just enough to just be and let things naturally come to you. It is a state of not being in resistance. Being in the zone feels like an out-of-this-world experience that brings you to a different and elevated dimension.
Being in this state requires us to be vulnerable to new possibilities. When we are truly in the zone we are feeling the moment with all our soul.
Photography and writing usually bring me into this zone as it is a way for me to express myself and share a part of myself with the world. Sometimes when I am writing and I just let go and allow myself to just write the words will naturally just come out effortlessly. When I am struggling or overcritical of my work — trying to make it perfect or have it sound a certain way when I am not in the zone but overanalyzing and letting my mind take over.
Watching someone in the zone is also fun and contagious because this feeling is true contentment and alignment with what we should be doing in our lives. It is the thing you lose track of time doing. It is the thing you love to share because it is a piece of you at such a deep level.
