Athletes, performers, or anyone else who competes, etc...
 

Have you ever been in a mental "zone" where you're so focused, nothing around you distracts you?


Like...I was in this zone today where I was so mentally focused, the volume level of my surroundings seemed to be on mute...as if I was in another world...


Anybody else ever experience this "zoning out"?

Yeah, it's this inner silent peace you reach when you shut the fuck up for once.

Check ya PM



LMAO

its pretty much how i prepare for my games, I dont speak to people on game day, im not around anyone I just focus on the task at hand.. that being winning. its great when you hit the peak of focusing and you know youre read

q, what are u playin, wit yourself? at your age what type of game could u possibly be playin to make u so proud

I pretty much do what White Powder says.

lol @ u thinkin I'm old...hahaha...

tsk tsk...one day u'll learn



Anyway...

Golf matches dude...



I was down by 7 shots to this dude...


I came back to beat him by 1 shot....


But, it was odd...I went into this zen-like state to do it...


If you study books on war and martial arts strategy, you'll find out that what I basically did was draw my opponent into my world by throwing him off his rhythm and timing and "infecting" his thoughts...

He was caught up in what I was doing...and I ended up beating him.

that usually happens when i write a song in the zone and record it drunk.

...........
or as bruce lee would say broken rythm

You're so fucking stupid it blows my mind.

like when i'm playing spades...i talk so much shit and it frustrates my oponents and they dont concetrate and i walk away with there dinner trays yeeeedig

you bet money on card games? That will remain classic @_@

fuck casinos. lol. Maybe when you're 40-50..

I make more money playing poker at the casino than I do at my job dude.

You should still really bet money with friends instead of with casinos. was more or less what i was trying to get across.. but congrats.. money is money..

Yeah, I understand casinos take rakes and all that type of shit. But I can win 500-1000 in a night at the casino, I can win 200 with friends.

If by this age that is the first time you've experienced that, you have a really retarded life.

I feel that three or four times a week when I powerlift.

q speaking about golf huh....what you shoot now man....my game has dropped vastly...i aint been out in months

lol the fuck is being in the zone, ya'll crazy, i'd be talking and having fun and laughing with all my judo buddies and as soon as theyd call my name to come up and fight i'd just go kick the guys ass, and then sit back down all laughing and telling more jokes and shit like what I just did was nothing lol. The only time i wouldnt talk so much is when i'd be examing how my oppenants faught eachother so i'd understand their techniques.. I never did some shit where i'd stop talking to people the day i had a tournament or something lmao. There was one guy before his fights he wouldnt talk to anyone, and he'd be mad, like he'd be really, really, really fucking pissed. And he'd have these eyes like he was gonna murder you, and when he'd go on the matt everytime the ref would tell them to break up and go back to their place before begining again he'd let out a yell like he was in a rage, lol shit was jokes people used to get so scared when they'd fight him, we called him Mr. Death

I normally listen to loud music to be honest. Either that or I don't focus on it at all and just play relaxed. Being relaxed is normally when I feel like i'm on top of the world

Im in the zone all day every day out here .. its bugged out... you gotta zone out here... act like your the only person in the world when your riding the train/ bus... etc... eye contact is a life and death situation out here.... so to be in the zone is to live another day :)

lmfaoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

You know when you "assume" you make an "ASS" out of yourself...


Who said anything about something being a FIRST?

I said HAVE YOU?

Since I see you actually answered the question, I won't instruct you to STFU.





1

thing is...I've changed strategies...playin smart now...

I like to have matches more than jus go out and play...

and, I rarely lose...

I can beat people on the course with my determination alone...

It throws them...no matter how good they are...


I'm shooting 10-15 over on average now.



But, I can shoot better when all goes well.



P.S. Get ya ass back out there.

I've been in the zone on many occassions.

One time that sticks out was when I was younger, playing football (soccer) and some dude on the opposite team was getting real cocky and talking shit at me. So I was determined to put him down. I locked onto him and must've tracked him from one side of the pitch to the other, ignoring the ball and just waiting till someone passed it to him. Then when they did, BLOW! I chopped that motherfucker down hard. It was kinda gay that I got sent off for it, but he got subbed to because he couldn't walk afterwards. HAHA! FUCK YOU BOY!!

But yeah, in that moment following him I had like no sound hitting my ears and the world just sorta became invisible to me and all I could see was that cocky bastard.
