How to get in the "zone" you have got to regulate what emotional state you are in.
Most people have no control over that. Their
emotional state is dependent on everything
that is outside of them
and not on what is happening on the inside.

introduction key points essentials
Think with your head and heart: develop your mind and evolve your intuition

DEVELOP YOUR MIND
Use your intellect for “Completeness of vision”, “Thought leader” en “Trusted advisor”

critical thinking)
Become aware of your intellectual capabilities: use your brain instead of acting on auto pilot:
• Keep reflecting• Keep thinking critically • Surprise yourself • Set the brain muscle on! • Ask yourself the question why three times?• Stay sharp
Develop your mind | evolve your intuition
