I guess the way I describe it is when basketball players talk about being in the zone and they feel like they can't miss. That's the way a running back feels when the game is in slow-motion. It feels like every cut is right, every run is going to be at least 10 yards. You see what the defense is doing. You know what they're trying to do to you. It's awesome.
Each time I step on the basketball court, I never know what will happen. I live for the moment. I play for the moment.
When I'm on a roll nothing makes me happier or feel more satisfied, like plugging in, life makes sense.
When I'm in the moment, I'm in the moment.
When we're playing, when we're really, really going... you're just in the moment. You're not thinking about yesterday, tomorrow, or anything else. The brain gets out of the way. Your body just does what it knows how to do, and it's just... it's like a religion.
You just try to take it one day at a time, ... You step on the basketball floor and just play. It's fun. I'm comfortable with it.
I just play in the moment, play in the game one game at a time.
There's a surge, there's a kind of energy field that says, 'I'm in my groove, I'm in my groove.' and nobody has to tell you, 'You go, girl,' because you know you're already gone.
When you start worrying about form, then you're not in the moment.
Practice being in the moment when you are running, whether you are on your own or in the race.
One of the strongest signs of being in the zone is a sense of freedom and of authenticity. When we are doing something that we love and are naturally good at, we are much more likely to feel centered in our true sense of self - to be who we feel we truly are. When we are in our Element, we feel we are doing what we are meant to be doing and being who we're meant to be.
There is one aspect of happiness that's been well studied, and it's the notion of flow. Ask yourselves, when for you does time stop? When are you truly at home, wanting to be no place else?
There are moments when you get out of your own head and you exist in the moment, and that can be good acting.
I guess I'm just in the flow and riding the wave.
