This is the Week Nine update for The Sound/Mind Experiment.
If you missed Week Eight, you can read it here.
This Red Zone has been a surprise. After eight weeks of intense change, I finally feel like I’m able to coast a bit and really enjoy the training I’ve done.
This zone is all about energy, alertness, creativity, executive function and a heightened state of performance.
While the other zones created deep and much needed change in my life, I didn’t feel a direct and instant “hit” at the time of the actual listening session. Instead I saw the differences throughout the day, as well as throughout each week (which is what the music is intended to do).
This zone is different and is meant to give you an immediate boost.. and it does.
Be sure to do your Red Zone training in the morning to make the most of it.
