Are You In the Zone?
It’s the top of the triangle. It's the seat of the avatar. It's the one point of the fibonacci. And it’s where the magic happens. It’s why you need to get the ten areas of your life all pointed in the same direction. And it's why you need to fortify the moat. The zone is the state of natural abundance and presence that makes everything possible. It supercharges your creativity and sends your SQ off the charts. It points you back at the most important thing and powers you above the line. Once you have access to the zone and you know how to get there the Way of 1% becomes very simple. This micro-habit is an elevator question that brings everything back to the one point, and makes changing your life as simple as five little words: “Am-I-in-the-zone?”
If the answer is ‘no’ then you only have one problem. It’s not the disagreement or inconvenience or challenge you’re facing. It's not the money worry or the relationship issue or let down. The only problem you have is that you’re not currently in the zone, and the only thing you need to do is realign with that state of abundance. It’s the ultimate one per cent shift - utilizing the limitless creativity of the mind in the service of the avatar instead of the child and the dragon.
Now that you know about the zone you have to figure out how to get there. What helps you get into that space and to bring the avatar to life. Is it a certain kind of music? Is it a certain place or activity? Is it a certain time of day or a certain memory or feeling? As a practitioner of the way of the 1%, bookmark anything in your life that’s zonally-conducive and build up a mental moodboard of things that put you in that state.
What can you do today to put you in the zone and what activities or thoughts bounce you out of that state? What’s on your to-do list and what’s on your no-to-do list to keep you where the magic happens? If you pose this elevator question and realise you’re out of the zone, what actions or thoughts do you need to drop and what actions or thoughts do you need to perform?
If you simplify the next step to getting back into the zone every problem becomes easier and more manageable. If you’re not in the zone you’re facing that problem as the child or the dragon - which means it may even be a master problem with no actual solution at all. If you get into the zone and view it as the avatar you might find yourself staring at a condition and not a problem at all.
