Gear up your mind
by Dave McMullen
Does your brain instantly turn on and run perfectly anytime you ask it to? Ok, so you don’t have to ask it to pump your heart or expand your lungs. But will it go from distracted to focused on demand? Most of us would say no. So is there a way to get from zombie to zone quicker?
If you are going into a one hour zone time, recognize that your mind requires a gear up period just like your body. Try spending the first five minutes reading something inspiring or listening to your favorite anthem. Do a little puzzle or talk to someone about the subject you are going to zone on. Just soak it in for a moment or two. Let your mind stretch and warm up. Find the exercise that works best for you and make it a habit. The next fifty five minutes will be much more productive.
