Zone of Optimal Functioning
The Zone of Optimal Functioning (ZOF) is a mental state where a person performs at their best, feeling focused, confident, and calm. Imagine it as a sweet spot between being too anxious or overwhelmed and too relaxed or uninterested. When in this zone, skills are at their peak, allowing for better performance whether in sports, work, or other activities. Staying within your ZOF helps you perform consistently and handle压力更好. It's about identifying and maintaining the mental state where you are most effective and resilient.
