What triggers the “eye of the tiger”?

[Room101]

Internal or external triggers? Both?
What cultivates it? Is it spawned from mastery of the mind? What emotional fuel drives it? Anger, determination, happiness, calmness, desperation or something else?

My emotional fuel more times then not is ANGER. I have more questions than answers regarding the mind body connection. I have just scratched the surface of this realm and would love a diverse opinion on this matter.

3. Survival.

Internal trigger flipped by external stimulus. "Survival" being a relative term. Could be life v. death, or win v. lose. Helps to fuel drive, desire, intensity.

Just my thoughts on it.

5. Competitions

I know I will never win a bouldering comp but I am always psyched up for them and have my some of my best climbing days. There are a lot of people around I just have a hell of a lot of fun.
