Zanshin is being completely focused on a task
Zanshin is a Japanese concept often found in martial arts, that involves being completely focused on the task at hand. It literally means ‘mind without water’. The ideal state is relaxed but alert.
It is similar to the western concept of flow, or Focused-Mode in neuroscience.
