How to get in the zone. One of the four essential things to get in the zone is perception.

Perception of yourself and your emotions. You get better the more you practice, so let's practice perception.

The easiest thing is to ask yourself: How do I feel at the moment?

You should do that every time you notice something. With notice I mean something that stands out to you in this moment, something that catches your attention just enough to remember: „How do I feel at the moment?“

It is completely okay to start really simple with very good/good/ok/bad. Over time, try to get as specific as you can. Feelings are not logical, so you can’t draw a conclusion. You have to be mindful and attentive to yourself.

Here I posted a list of emotions; just take a look at it, and maybe next time you ask yourself „How do I feel? You find more answers. list of emotions

This seems way too simple, but to learn and train how to get in the zone in these early steps, it isn’t really about how you actually feel. The goal of this exercise is to achieve two things:

First: Build a wide, active vocabulary of your feelings and be more aware of what you actually feel.

Second: You need the ability to take a step back and perceive yourself, your feelings and your surroundings without being affected by your current emotion.

The second one is the reason why you make bad decisions when you are emotional. You think you aren’t influenced by your emotions in that moment, which is most of the times incorrect.
