The Zone

Russell Westbrook of the NBA's Oklahoma City Thunder is wrapping up a season for the ages -- possibly the best individual season, statistically speaking, in league history. He is seemingly playing at a different level than the competition ... and frequently enters what sports fans characterize as "the zone."
The Zone can be a somewhat elusive concept - you know it when you see it. It's basically a mental state where you have so much confidence that failure is not possible. This powerful condition overtakes everything in its path, momentum churns and a positive feedback loop ensues.
Athletes, performers, creative people and competitors of all stripes have experienced elements of this phenomena at some point. You feel so positive and optimistic about what you're doing, all self doubt falls away, success becomes certain -- it's raw power unleashed.
There are a multitude of variables associated with peak performance and achievement -- but at the very core of any success story you will find someone who had the proper mindset to accomplish what they set out to do. One step beyond their mindset is their mood, or state of being -- their mental condition.
What I'm saying is that the fundamental basis for achieving our goals, realizing success and performing at a peak level will be determined by the mood, or state we are in.
Ever notice how much easier life is when you're in a good mood ... and conversely how difficult things are when our mood is off?
Change your mood and you change your outlook -- change your outlook and you begin to create the mindset you need to achieve your goals -- follow me here?
How to find the Zone.
If you find yourself operating from a mood that is less than optimal, there are three things I want you to consider.
1.) Are you getting enough rest?
2.) Are you eating enough food/the right food?
3.) Are you moving enough/getting quality exercise?
Individually or collectively, being aware of your status within these three areas will have a huge impact on your mood and subsequently your quality of life.
There is no question that my best days are a product of a balanced approach where my rest is adequate, my nutrition is sufficient and my movement is decent.
Those bad days? Yea those are usually the ones driven by lack of sleep, too few calories and being overly sedentary.
There is such a trickle down impact for us when we talk about the impact these three areas have on our lives. You want to change something? You want to feel better? Focus on improving in one or each of these and I promise you will be better.
In a few weeks Russell Westbrook will speak at his press conference after he is named the NBA's MVP. A reporter might ask him how he managed to find the zone so consistently this season. He probably won't discuss his adherence to the three areas I mentioned -- but rest assured -- his incredible success is a product of paying closer attention to those areas than anything else he does. The good days don't lie.
