Some call it their "happy zone", others talk about the "sweet spot", and I have even heard people calling it "the vortex". I use "zone" as a term but whatever word you prefer, the feeling behind it is far more important than you nomenclature. That powerful feeling is what I am going to write about here, the feeling when your entire being feels like everything is aligned and in its perfect place.

For the last two days I have been in my zone. There was a lot of work to be done and spare time was a luxury but there was a smile on my face that refused to go away. Everything seemed perfectly aligned with my inner being and I felt connected with... Well... Good stuff. I felt connected with beauty in everything and enjoyed the sweet feelings of being satisfied, inspired and at peace, admiring and appreciating every moment.

There are times when I am not in my zone. Whenever that happens, my main goal is to get back in. Nothing is more important than that. Sometimes it takes minutes, and sometimes days, even weeks and months. "Life happens" as some would say and my vibration is no longer in a place I would like it to be. There are ways to get back in but they do not always work, at least not all of them, and it gets frustrating when you want to get in there and fail miserably with each try. You work on yourself, meditate, contemplate, read, concentrate hard and do various mental exercises with no results.

I have found that the zone is not something I come in, it comes in, into me. The better phrasing would be that I allow it to arise in me. When I try and push myself to get into that state it almost never works but when I relax and allow my being to be the best it could be it is almost like letting go of an anchor that was holding me in place. That is when the good stuff happens, when my soul gets a sense of being allowed to thrive, and when it is no longer being pushed and pulled. The natural state of my being is to be in the zone, I just have to let it.

Whenever I remember that, it is easy to get into the zone. I just use some of my little helpers. So the first step is to realize that I have to relax and allow my being to get to its natural state of divine satisfaction and appreciation and then just help it with a gentle nudge.

When I want to gently push my being in the right direction, there are a few tricks up my sleeve that I use. Looking at the first picture in this post is one of them, just look and gaze and slowly feel how my resistance to well being is subsiding.

My little helpers are things that get me in my happy place. They are not always the same but they are similar. There is always a seaside involved, some good food or a song. Sometimes, even a smell can trigger me.

The best thing about helpers is that anything or anyone can be a helper. I just have to have a positive memory, opinion or a feeling about it, not just positive but super positive. We all have those things, favorite things that always bring a smile to our face. They are unique and special, perfect in their way to get us into that perfect zone where everything becomes ideal and exceptional. Soothing and nurturing, peaceful and glorious.

Everything is better when you are in the zone. Food tastes better, every song is your song, the weather is perfect for you no matter what kind it is, and everything you do is fantastic and giving you so much pleasure. You are grateful, at peace, satisfied and feeling absolutely perfect in every way possible. This is the time of great ideas being born, great creativity moments, inspiration or just pure love for everything that surrounds you.

You will recognize that you are in a zone when your leg cant stay still when a music comes on. You will sing or humm while doing chores, smile for no reason, daydream and fantasize or bring a great amount of passion into your work. You may even feel a need to do something you would not normally do but it just feels right.

All you have to do is accept that there is a happy zone you could be in, allow yourself to feel it and then admire the amazing experience. Here is what I did while I was in my zone yesterday:

This is such a happy picture with so much happiness coming out of it that I not only took a photo of it but placed it on my refrigerator. Yes, like I was a child. Now I have a drawing on my refrigerator that will always remind me that I am capable of letting everything go, taking a piece of paper and crayons, putting some music on, singing and letting myself get lost in such a silly and playful thing. I was smiling the whole time. Nothing was in my heart but pure happiness the entire time I was singing and drawing. Just like a child. That is the best description of the zone. Feeling like a happy child while playing. Having that feeling of playfulness and enjoyment while doing anything is being in the zone. I am still there and enjoying it immensely.
