Looking for the best in life?
Who makes the decisions for doing what you do? You do.
Always you.
Hoping this series of musings is inspiring you to be better
and better at focusing. Focus meaning, deliberate choices
of thoughts and feelings The passionate exploration of,
what’s next?
It can be fun to focus! Balanced with moments of joy
appreciating what is, of course!
Remember, ultimately you are in control of your thoughts
and feelings. You are in control of your focus. What are
your emotions telling you about your focus?
May I suggest that you enjoy a conscious, deep breath in
through your nose and out through your mouth, before
continuing. Simply be aware of your breath. Aaaaaaahh!
For a few moments now, place your conscious focus in your
body. Settle in, be aware of your body and sit comfortably
in it.
Feel the fullness of focus by first experiencing the
fullness of your breath and the fullness of your body when
you place your attention completely in the present moment
there. This is focus within, as well as without. Always
coming back to the self, what might be called ‘home’.
It is a meaningful question for you, to ask yourself
throughout the day, where is my attention focused?
If you don’t deliberately place your focus on something
that you truly want, then you may find your mind being
influenced to focus elsewhere. Also, love what you don’t
want. It gives you so much clarity about what you do want!
You could shake what you don’t want by the hand and say,
thank you very much for showing me the way! Then you have
to give your attention to what you want.
There is no answer to what you want in blaming someone or
something else. Blame can be a habit and it never gets you
to where you want to go. It tells you more about yourself
than about the subject of your blame.
The world is an extension of you. So question yourself,
your thoughts, about what you are projecting. Accept your
part.
If something you’re focusing on lowers your vibration,
release connection with the subject at issue and move on.
You cannot focus on what you don’t want and get to what
you do want. There are effects when you give your
attention to something. Withdraw your focus of attention
from what is not wanted.
Do you really need to talk about what you don’t want any
more?!
Negative thoughts equal negative emotion equals that is the
signal you’re sending out.
When your past stays active, in other words, you’re
defining yourself by your past, you’ll be stuck, now, in
that past. Wouldn’t it be better to talk about what
you’re going towards?
Focus on a feeling first, then better inspired thoughts
join you.
Choose to make the best of it, wherever you are now.
Write out a list of all the things you don’t want in your
life. Use that list to turn your focus to what you do want.
Focus on feelings of happiness and abundance. Quit
complaining and write out intentions of what you want to
be, do, and have. Beliefs create your reality, so begin to
choose them for yourself and choose beliefs that support
what you want to be, do, and have. What does it feel like
to be living your intentions?
We want to keep our beliefs and we can look upon all sorts
of evidence and tell all kinds of stories to support our
beliefs. But, what if some of our beliefs don’t serve
us?
Why be stuck in what you believe?
Question your thoughts.
Most of our thoughts are repetitive. Habitual cycles of
the same (often limiting and negative) thoughts. Habitual
thought patterns and the emotions that go with them are
usually ways that we create suffering inside ourselves and
can be ways that we create suffering around us.
What are you believing that moves you to fear, doubt,
worry, concern, anger?
When we have negative thoughts, we in turn feel negative
emotions in our body. When we choose positive feeling
emotions, then positive thoughts come to us.
To experience the feeling of being alive, doesn’t it feel
better to invite feelings of optimism, joy, enthusiasm,
passion, love, appreciation? Yes! Feeling good is feeling
good!
What is showing up in your life is the results of what your
unconscious mind believes. So you have to inquire into your
hidden beliefs. Ask yourself, truthfully, what am I really
expecting? Maybe life is wanting to give you something and
you are unaware that you’re saying no to it?
We all desire clarity. Inner silence quietens the
confusion of the mind, which means that suffering through
the mind is quietened. Confusion never feels good. Would
you be willing to practice experiencing a gap between your
thoughts? It is freeing. The mind chatters away
continuously if inner silence is not practiced and it can
be easy to identify yourself as those thoughts. Thought
processes have a mind of their own. Do you know that
you’re identifying with your thoughts? Wouldn’t it
feel better to deliberately choose thoughts so that you are
more aware of the thoughts that you are experiencing? So
that they are in alignment with what is wanted.
When you know what you don’t want, it means that you know
what you do want, so the knowing of what you don’t want is
good, helpful, inspiring, and so forth.
The reality you’re now living is what it is, so accept
it. Don’t argue with it, in other words make peace with
it, and start focusing more and more on what you’re
wanting. Love what is and be in eager anticipation, in
happy anticipation, of more of what you’re focusing on.
May I suggest, let’s deliberately make our thoughts more
useful. Action arises from thought. There is more to
thought than we know, so let’s use it as wisely and
compassionately as we can.
Before the next part of your day now, enjoy a conscious,
deep breath in through your nose and out through your
mouth, before continuing. Simply be aware of your breath.
Aaaaaaahh!
I’m not here to talk about anything
