You ever had one of those days when...

you were just "on a roll," as they say? You know, the kind of day where you are carried off the field on the teammates shoulders after scoring the winning touchdown? I read a book recently that said that if you just remember that day in trying times and channel that energy, you can recreate being "on a roll."

What do you think?
 
Like in the "Zone", I really belive in it, I remember playing college basketball and at times my body moved and reacted on its own and everything went in, I couldn't miss if I tried. The zone is real.

I consistently reach the "zone" on a good day. Especially on a motorcycle. every turn is crisp every decision is natural. I get it in the gym too.

Its very zen like, you think nothing, you feel nothing you just focus and accomplish. One of the single best feelings on earth.
 
I have a question - I can get into the zone playing sports all the time, hell, any athlete or psuedo-athlete has had there zone moments, but how come I can't get into the zone at work? If I think about a zone moment like Heather suggests while at work all I want to do is get up and go play some ball. WTF? I don't get all energetic so I can concentrate on work at all. I get antsy (if that's a word)...
 
I used to get that way in law school and in court. Somedays I was sharp as a tack and was unstoppable. Other days -- sweaty palms and some self doubt. It all depended on whether I was in the "zone" or not. I think I'm just now starting to understand that more. If I went back to law, I would definitely try to cultivate being in "the zone" more instead of merely preparing all night and day for trials, etc.

I used to get that feeling when I skated. Everything was just clean and smooth. It just felt so easy.

I get that snowboarding on powder days too. Love it.

totally true...pats is right on...channeling energy is key to success. its harnessing the feeling of success, given the example you stated, and "feeling" it - puts the mind and body in tune with the "like" energy. ;)

There are books upon books and explanations upon explanations.

Zen is the only way to describe it. It either just "happens" and everything is aligned that day, or you are one of the very very few who have the power to consiously get there. It is the key to life. A quiet mind.

It's true.

You are ALWAYS in control of your own emotions. How do you think I got through the dark days?

That must be the answer to the work dilemna I have. While playing a sport that's all I am concentrating on - my mind is blank besides what I have to do. At work, I am constantly getting pulled in seperate directions and am unable to empty my mind. Ok, so now what the hell do I do? :)
 
Interesting, you guys. I never could play sports very well because I was shy. I felt like 1000 eyes were on me and would just choke. However, if a vase falls off the refrigerator, I will probably be the one that dives and catches it behind my back. That's because it happened to fast for me to get my mind into it. I overthink everything. Often the best performances I gave in the courtroom were when I was less prepared (not unprepared but just not so overprepared that I choked).

I would like to read some books on being able to harness that energy more.

This is the basis of everything Tony Robbins talks about -- if you have the mindset, it exudes from you & good vibes cause good things.

I hear you. I have the same problem. Unfortunately you have to spend hours and hours and time and time focusing on reaching that zen, but life interjects - you focus on something else and you forget. Some people are naturally zen its just in them. It is a very difficult thing to learn and achieve. It is also one of the basisisisisisisis of Buddhism.

Interestingly, I think we can "roll" downhill too. For example, did you ever have something sad, irritating, infuriating, etc happen to you which makes you think of other similar experiences? before you know it, your outlook on the entire world that day is bleak.
 
Visualization is also key. If you're in a bad mind-set but you can visualize something positive, the results are the same as being "on a roll"

When this happens to me I take a nap or just mill around the house and go to bed early.

"Tomorrow will be better" is a HYUGE mantra of mine.

There is just something about the promise of a new day....

Is this a bike coach that teaches the art of zen or a zen coach that helps with other aspects of your life?

I think if you do have something happen that makes you feel a certain negative way, you should allow yourself a short period of time to just let that emotion run its course - not consume your life but acknowledge it as you are human and let it have a moment but then refocus on where you are trying to get to. It isn't productive to focus on negative things because it never produces anything good. But that visualization is how you can pull yourself beyond the pure emotion of a moment and get back to the good parts of life.

Not always true.....sometimes being in a "funk" or thinking negative is and can be productive.... if this makes sense.
I find when I am down and negative, I strive to want to be better. The "depression" or negative thoughts fuel my creativity and urge to want to excell.
But yes to focus on the negative 24/7 is counter-productive for sure.
 
Honestly though - and maybe I am just weird - but when the shit hits the fan - can you just turn off the negative and be positive, because I can't. I get flustered, pissed off and hectic. That's not the zone. :)

It's a technique you need to learn. I think even really positive ppl get negative, but they just bounce out of it quicker.
And yes, you're weird ;-)

OMG
I'm totally like that too

I'm most open to learning something or improving when I feel down on or insecure with my abilities. It's like it's not good enough to just get out of a funk - you have to make yourself a better in some way.

I had a friend tell me once when I was in a deep depression..."learn from this. The Universe (or God whatever u believe in) is giving you this moment to reflect and to find out who you really are and what you're made of"

Well that's the transition out of it -- if you choose to just recall all the other bad times you felt like that and wallow in it and start to say how the whole world is against you - that is absolutely not constructive. But that's what I said - I think you are allowed to let the emotion run its course but if it gets to the point where that becomes your focus its just no good.

It's a good way to think...this friend of mine was also diagnosed with last stage cancer and was given 5 months to live. She attopted a pretty tough way of thinking being faced with death...........long story short, She is alive 8 yrs later b/c she took her depair and worked with it. She fought back and along with Novartis and a the research Dr got Gleevec on the market
Her name is Suzan McNamara and u can read just one of her strories here.

http://www.innovation.org/index.cfm/StoriesofInnovation/InnovatorStories/The_Story_of_Gleevec

Also....while ill, she went back to school to get her high school diploma, then off to get her Bach. in Biology and now she is two years away from her doctrine as a cancer researcher.
How's that for letting the depression work in your favor.

WOW! WHat a woman! I read a story once about a man who was given just a few months to live also. He was very upset because he knew that his family would have a tough time surviving financially after he died. Out of despair and no other options to make money, he wrote his first novel. The novel made him tons of money, and to this day he is a successful novelist. The cancer didn't do him in. Rather, it gave him the biggest gift of his life.

Love these stories :-)
Like I said....mind over matter! We can learn from these folks :-)
 
There were times in the boxing ring that I would actually anicipate every jab..every faint every movement that my opponent was going to make bth offensive and defensive...I would see my next combination in my mind landing perfectly befor it started....jab..jab..aint the jab...overhand right he step into trying to move from the jab faint...followed by a lef hook that gives him a pint blank look at the canvas :-)
 
every now and then. But there isn't much in my life to get me down. ie, ex wife, troublesome kids, no kids to be exact, great job.

I think that the less you have in life, the more likely this will occur. But only because then there is less to go wrong... god I need a woman

You end up fucking yourself if you think more than you do.

Zen coach with aspects of life....

CBR -yes, and!!!!..........most likely magnesium rims!!!!!!! :p pair of 5 spoke @ 3# each. stock rims weight 11# for front and 13# for rear...big reduction in rolling sprung weight...this will equal almost 40HP increase :p so my goal of hitting 200mph when Stilleto comes to Cali to race PCH- will become a reality.
