Being Focused is a powerful thing. It is one of the keys that produces results or not.
THE RESULTS MODEL Our Thoughts/beliefs (conscious or unconscious) -
Our Perceptions/Meaning -
Generate Feelings/Motivation -
Get us to take Action (or not) =Lead to our Results
If someone is NOT getting the result they want they usually attempt to change their actions = tangible, physical.
But they do not go to the source…what really drives our behavior/actions?
Our thoughts – our perceptions = our personal reality!
So what determines our perception? What we choose to focus on.
There is a direct relationship between Focus and Manifestation-in other words, what you focus on creates your reality: both your physical reality and your perceived reality.
-- ask and you shall receive
-- what you sow, so shall you reap
-- A branch of science that Einstein pioneered is called “Quantum physics” which is now being able to prove these age old theories.
- When we say the word “focus”, what other words come to mind- Clarity/single mindedness/attention/concentration/being present/energy/patience/narrow down/visualize
- What is the opposite of being focused? Multi-tasking/chaos/scattered
- Who can give us some examples of when you are most focused? 2 days before you leave on vacation/doing something you love/doing something dangerous
- Has anyone ever been so focused that you completely lost track of time…like being in the state of flow. (Ultra-focused)
- How much more do you enjoy the journey in that state – how much more effective are you in a focused state?
- What are the benefits of being focused?
More productive, happier, more calm
- What interrupts focus? A: Noise/other people/TV/computer/phone
We control our focus, therefore our thoughts and self talk by the questions we ask ourselves? “Garbage in…garbage out.”
Why can't I lose weight? = poor question.
How can I lose weight and enjoy the process? = quality question.
I have so much going on…how am I going to get all this done? = poor question.
What is the most effective use of my time? = quality question.
Be careful of “why” questions. They can lead to endless loops. Instead, try “what” and “how” questions.
Q: How do I set up my day so that I can enjoy it more?
Q: How can I find clients that I would really love to work with?
Q: How can I create more space and have more freedom?
Q: How can I set up routines that create more energy and health?
Q: What can I do to attract better and healthier relationships?
************************************************************************
IMPORTANT DISTINCTION: The quality of your life is determined by the quality of questions you ask yourself.
*****************************************************************
The pace at which you create/manifest is governed by two things…
- Concentration of focus (moving the magnifying glass around).
- Intensity of the focus (adjusting the height so the sun's power is focused on one small pinpoint).
What can we do to improve our ability to focus? (Good Question by the way)
Focus (like will power) is one of your mental faculties that can be developed just like any muscle-Einstein example-concentration exercise.
