The BACON Zone!

Have you ever been working on a project or a task and just felt a FLOW? A time where everything was moving along perfectly, feeling laser focused. You lose all track of time, and you're just in the ZONE. Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi focused on understanding happiness, creativity, fulfillment, and the idea of FLOW or getting in that ZONE. It is the state of being hyper-focused and totally immersed in an activity such as in art, work, or play. It is tied to a state of euphoria or ecstasy where true happiness blossoms. Why does it happen, when does it happen, and can we get ourselves there? His theory, based on numerous studies, shows that the ZONE can be found in activities where your desire, ability, and the challenge is pushed. When your challenge is low, and your skill level improves you go from apathetic to bored to relaxed. When you face a medium challenge, you move from worrisome to a feeling of control based on your skill level. And when you face a high challenge and your skill level improves, you go from Anxiety to Arousal to FLOW! And that is where you want to be! Get in the ZONE and feel the FLOW B – Be completely involved and focused A – Achievable Tasks but Challenging C – Clarity on task and progress O – Outside of Reality N – No Self-criticism That's what this week’s show will be focusing on! www.MasterHappiness.com/live www.WhatsYourBacon.com #SalesCoach #PublicSpeaking #Keynote #Career #Relationships #MasterHappiness #Jalove #Bacon #WRLR #BaconBits #MartyJalove #WhatsYourBACON #Zone #Flow #Csikszentmihalyi
