What did you rediscover today?

I rediscovered the flow state last night at fencing. I'm just starting to work out the triggers for this, it is truly amazing.

Excellent, Griff, to be able to go directly to your groove will be wonderful.

I don't really understand what all that means, but it sounds good.

Smooth, in the zone, almost automatic pilot, reacting properly after the brain processes what the eyes are seeing, because waiting for the brain to then translate it into rational thought, and make a decision, it's too late.

I've experienced it while writing computer code for a custom database,
and it is a very enjoyable thing.

But in the physical world the closest I can image is while driving a car,
and being involved in deep thought or conversation, and
not realizing that how far we've gone on "automatic".

Doing that while fencing is almost "inconceivable"!

Good on you, Griff
