When we think of getting or being in the Zone we see ourselves as focused, centered, happy, content.

We often envision some famous athlete throwing 100 consecutive three pointers or musician rocking out an solo. We can all be in the Zone though and we all have some experience feeling this way.

This lesson is about finding that space in this space.

Expectations

The first steps you take with us will help you understand how we will work together:

• Practice Journaling and Pro-Action Plans
• Create Career Zone Accounts

Three Simple Steps:

1. Inhale fully in and expand belly muscles – 3 to 5 seconds to fill the diaphragm

2. Exhale out and release and relax belly – Don’t force the air out.

3. Chose the most comfortable nose/ mouth pattern.

Always Journaling

Take a few minutes with some pen and paper and get out of your head for a few minutes. Describe how you were feeling or as we say, What was moving in you as you were breathing?

Watch the two videos on the right which are about finding fulfilling work and exploring careers, and then complete STEP ONE in your Proaction Plan: CareerZone which will help you document, what you feel you already know about career paths.

Doing this before you do your assessment will allow you to have a before and after set of results.

So how do we decide what we will do with our lives?

You may often hear people say that you need to “follow your bliss” or that you have to do what makes you happy. While professional happiness is important, the way you get there might not always be through your heart.
