Alive
I had a moment of clarity today while running at practice, for lack fo a better term.
I guess I could best describe these moments when "Self awarness is attained. Realization of abilities is attained as well and you begin to push beyond your recognized limits".
I have these moments while running or cycling. You better know this as "The Zone". Athletes talk about finding it and staying within it.
I guess I'm lucky in that fact that I can nearly self enduce "The Zone" when necessary, but only with the proper stimuli such as physical exertion.
It has varying degrees.
Sometimes you'll feel a sudden surge of energy when you are at your most tired all the way up to time dialation and near third person "sight" as they call it.
None of this is crazy at all. Scientists have conducted studies on this idea of a "Zone" and have found that this actually is all a factual idea.
It's a part of a mental system to keep you going in your most desperate times. Like how in complete darkness people can create a "unreality" in their minds and escape to it.
One of the most striking ideas that has been found to be true was the idea of time dialation.
Time dialation is when you take time and stretch it out to last longer. So 1 second may now take 10 seconds to pass. Studies have shown that when massive amounts of information need to be digested all at once by your mind, the brain will actually slow down one's perception of time.
Today I had a slight time dialation, but nothing too noticable. This is all a part of the training techniques I apply to the ones my coach has us use.
A healthy body may be able to run a sub 4:30 mile, but without a healtier meantal drive, sub 4:30 will only be an after thought.
So go out, and find a way to enduce your "zone". Mine is through music, hence why during competitions I perform so poorly, I have no way to find my "Zone" without music.
Maybe you can find yours, so I encourage you to find it.
