Project Managers need to get out of the office and find a place to refresh and have their zen moment to find the elusive pieces of the puzzle that their project is missing. The Pacific Ocean is my favorite place to have my zen moments when I need to find a solution for a project. 

Find your favorite zen moment place where you live. Just clear your mind and relax.

I find my Zen moment whenever I can sit alone in silence, no matter where it is. In my mind I can go anywhere.

Trail running, mowing the lawn, or sleeping. But like Dinah, if anytime I can grab some silence and rest my eyes for a bit is helpful.

Riyadh,
Your zen moment can be whatever clears your mind and allows you to think clearly.

Drake, in this case then I would say my zen moment would be when I soak my feet in a tub with hot water dissolved with Epsom salt and roses, my head been blown by air conditioner breeze, closed eyes.
