The Law of Practice states that what we focus on and do consistently will naturally grow. This means that if you focus on positive things, such as being happily productive, or finding more things to appreciate, those attitudes will become stronger. Likewise, if we direct more of our attention to negative experiences, such as self-doubt, or finding reasons why we’re stuck, then those ways-of-being will become stronger too. So, by learning to better direct your focus, you can create more joy and happiness. You can direct your focus in a way that calls in more of your heartfelt dreams and desires.
Let’s play with the spiritual Law of Practice to explore how to become better focused. Let’s assume that at any point in time, you are directing your attention:
1. in a well-focused, happiness-expanding way or
2. in a distracted, counter-to-happiness way
Being well-focused, in the way I use it with clients, means you’re able to happily and easily direct your attention, so you have more of the life experiences you want. When you’re well-focused, you’re able to follow through, and complete what matters to you in a fulfilling, soul-aligned way. You’re not forcing things to happen, or doing things because you think you have to or need. You’re choosing for the joy of the experience. Being well-focused also means having the ability to break down some of your choices into smaller, more manageable parts.
So, being well-focused includes:
– choosing clear soul-aligned goals, and then
– having a good-feeling, effective process that helps you stay on track.
A distraction is any activity that takes your attention away from what you set out to be, do, or have. It can be anything from getting lost in your current mindset, to checking your phone, and can come in a variety of forms. Distractions or diversions are typically unplanned, and can be internally or externally sourced. Internal distractions might include things like refusing to choose, or overwhelming yourself with long lists of unwanted “have tos”. External distractions may involve other people’s requests, or loud noises etc. Whatever the source, distracting ourselves can also become a go-to coping mechanism or habit. In this case, we’re not moving forward in the way we really want.
So, what’s the difference between being distracted and going with the flow? Good question, and something you want to understand if you’re ready to call in more of the “good stuff”.
The answer; you know by how you feel and what you’re producing.
Specifically, are you moving forward and producing the experiences that you want? If you’re creating momentum and producing something that fulfills and delights you, then you’re flowing. If not, then you’re distracting yourself.
To be clear, being in the flow, or aligned is powerful and productive. It means that you’re listening to your higher guidance, and then taking your next best, fun actions. You’re not wasting your precious energy resisting or pushing against anything. When you’re flowing, you’re well-focused and open to new ideas and possibilities. You’re open and flexible enough to take the Higher Guidance. You’re making clear choices, happily following through, and leaving room for the magic to happen! And awesome stuff is showing up! You are in harmony with what you do want! Life is good and keeps getting better.
It’s not uncommon to stumble when you’re starting a new venture. That can happen, and almost always does. It is new territory after all. You simply don’t know, what you don’t know. That is, unless, you have an experienced guide.
And this is one of the many reasons, why I do what I do. Because the fastest way to move into your genius zone, is to find a powerful guide, someone who can help you connect with your heartfelt desires, and then teach you the skills needed to happily create what you want. This is the Path of Mastery, and it’s something you must choose. Don’t let current conditions dictate what is possible for you. And don’t get lost in making yourself wrong. You’re not broken; you’re evolving. What’s needed are new skills and powerful guidance. And by the way, and contrary to popular belief — no one successfully traverses a big leap alone. Nobody, not a soul.
“No man is an island entire of itself; every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main.”
One of the greatest gifts of having a powerful coach and guide is that you get the ability to see what you currently cannot see. You also get to see ahead, and bypass the frustrating patterns, delays and distractions. Instead of feeling lost, you have immense clarity. Instead of struggling, you have someone who can help you navigate powerfully to your desired life experiences.
What is something you really want? What really matters to you?
If you’re ready to have that in a soul-nurturing way, I can help you have that. Whether you work with me or someone else, do reach out, and accept powerful, loving guidance. Let the magic happen; you deserve it!
Much Love,
