I'm not a buddhist but I find the concept of Zen very applicable to my training.
I'm wondering if anyone else here uses principles of Zen in their training or life in general.
I find what i use in my training spills over into everyday life as well.
One simple example, when I'm caught in a bad position I usually stay in the moment and let my skill flow to help me get out.
This keeps me from panicing and helps me stay focused.
This translates into everyday life when I'm in a place that requires patience. I use the same Zen concept and stay focused in the moment, this helps me stay patient.
Anyone else enjoy these types of benefits?
