Lately I’ve had trouble with focus.
I’ve not been sure what to focus on. Health? Weight loss? Money? Career? Friends? Relationships? There always seems to be so much to do and so much that needs attention that I can’t focus on anything.
Without focus it feels like I’m drifting through life in a reactionary, passive state. Things come along and are dealt with and then repeat. There is no focused drive to create major action, just reaction to what comes along.
It’s not ideal.
Without focus you never make major progress.
It’s only when you make a decision and then focus on making something happen that things actually happen. Focus is the place where dreams start to become reality.
Missing focus is where I’ve been going wrong lately. I’ve been all over the place, unfocused, confused on what my next steps should be. That lack of focus has led me to not make any progress in any area of my life.
This is absolutely NOT what I want!
I want to be focused, determined, working toward a goal rather than just accepting whatever comes my way.
I’m working on regaining some focus and clarity in my life right now because I want to be that focused, determined woman working toward something big.
When you’ve lost focus in your life how do you regain it?
Sometime, you have to just smack yourself upside dah proverbial head, and say, “self, enough of this shit! Get back in gear. Post haste!’
:)
Hah, self ass kicking! That might be what I need.
You know, I’m not sure. I feel like my focus on certain things comes and goes in waves. I get a plan and get focused on one thing and get into a good groove and then move on to another like organizing. Then I get that done and I’m still doing the other and then think, now I should do this and I work on that. Then I reach a bit of burnout and just sorta meander along for a bit until I find new inspiration. I never know what that inspiration will be, but I just keep on going. I think it’s normal to flag now and then on ‘doing’ and you just muddle through. The trick is to find something that is bugging you and do it. Once you do, you find yourself re-motivated to work on other aspects.
You’re probably right about the inspiration and how it comes in waves. Right now I need a tidal wave so I can focus on one thing and make it awesome!
I like to make a goal poster. It has visual pictures of what I want to achieve throughout the year with short term and long term goals and then I hang it up so I can see it everyday. This helps me remember to see what i need to focus on. Make it bright, colorful and fun! Good luck.
Great idea! I haven’t had a goal poster/vision board in quite a while. I think I’ll make myself one soon.
