Since then, I have settled on low paying, menial jobs to get through but still hopeful for the day that I will "back in the zone" job once again.Gossip_Grlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06603645371306284338noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-968059214758329257.post-13752783793053904402012-11-27T23:35:53.257-05:002012-11-27T23:35:53.257-05:00hehe, I often fell into a VERY temporary zone whil...hehe, I often fell into a VERY temporary zone while playing pool.

My groove was on and I was all over that set! I've never been able to do it again, but the memory is still thrilling. :)Lara Schiffbauerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13546286607078965432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-968059214758329257.post-45254761967310530992012-11-27T13:25:07.295-05:002012-11-27T13:25:07.295-05:00I am a classically trained musician and spent time...I am a classically trained musician and spent time in The Zone as a young adult quite often.

Those were sweet. . .<br /><br />I'm also a bit of a math nerd, and in high school, I took part every year in a statewide math competition. My senior year, when I took the test, I was in The Zone. It was eerie - I mean, I just went from one problem to the next, figuring out the answer almost instantly. I finished with a score of 36/40, on a competitive exam where 18/40 was in the top 10%. . .Craighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12044041773404411751noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-968059214758329257.post-15285055083173251152012-11-27T12:26:13.607-05:002012-11-27T12:26:13.607-05:00Athletically I have only been in the zone once.

I was usually pretty good in the scrum and never lost my own ball and had even been known to steal one or two, but on this particular match, I was so on form I took all my own ball and all the opposition ball. It was poetry in motion..It never happened again!<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-968059214758329257.post-66010802638278755312012-11-27T12:17:18.386-05:002012-11-27T12:17:18.386-05:00Athletically, no, I've never found "The Z...Athletically, no, I've never found "The Zone". If anyone ever described my athletic abilities as "average" I would take that as a compliment. Professionally I've had a few periods when I could do no wrong, but that success was not the norm for me.<br /><br />These days if I can just find my keys in the morning I feel like I'm in "The Zone". That's probably as close as I'll ever come. ;)<br /><br />SLowandslowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08608734222483888884noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-968059214758329257.post-31158825633727293322012-11-27T11:27:58.270-05:002012-11-27T11:27:58.270-05:00Do you think Google could locate "The Zone&qu...Do you think Google could locate "The Zone" for me?
