INTRODUCTION:
All of life can be measured on a scale from FULLY ALIVE at the top to NEARLY DEAD at the bottom (in fact DEATH is the bottom of the scale.) We call this scale that OPTIMA ZONES OF LIFE as it is divided into seven Zones, or categories.
Each Zone is represented by a color. The colors are GOLD, BLUE, GREEN, YELLOW, ORANGE, RED, and BROWN.
Most of us fluctuate somewhere from the top to the bottom, throughout the day, from day to day and year-to-year. On average, we spend most of our time in one particular place or Zone of the scale.
Different areas of our life can be in different Zones. For example, your relationship could be in the Greenzone, and your career could be in the Yellowzone.
The scale explains a lot about human nature. You will see the entire cast of characters in your life and what you can expect from them.
Accompanying each Zone is a predominant emotion. Each emotion is a complete unvarying package of attitudes and behaviors.
The higher a person’s position on the scale the better they survive. They are more capable of obtaining the necessities of living, are happier, more alive, more confident, and competent. They are winning at life.
The lower a person drops on the Scale the closer they are to death. They are losing, are less happy, less alive, less confident, less competent, and are losing at life.
A person in the Goldzone, Bluezone or Greenzone doesn’t settle down on this scale; they maintain a high interest and enthusiasm for living. Although they may become upset and drop down in a Redzone environment, they are resilient and recover quickly once they are free of the lower Zone influence.
Conversely, a person in the Yellowzone, Redzone or Brownzone can have a moment of winning or success, however, it doesn’t last long and quickly return to their original Zone.
The Optima Zones of Life are as follows:
