THE POWER OF FOCUS IN TIMES OF CHANGE

In times of change -- and we are living through great historic change -- there is great value and support in doing one’s own inner work.

Brain research has shown that the survival brain functions far faster than the thinking brain. When we perceive a potential threat we move into fight or flee response. When we sustain fear, stress or anxiety for long periods of time we lose access to our higher functioning brain.

Fear is not a resourceful state.

Learning tools to shift from fear and contraction into expansion and possibility is essential in order to do more than survive as we move through the changes that are facing all of us.

Big change is challenging and we are in BIG change. No matter who you are and what your circumstances you are facing change. To successfully navigate what is before you it is important to utilize time tested tools to support you in shifting to see new opportunities and possibilities as well as taking action on what you discover.

One tool I have shared with you over the years is the tool of positive focus. Where you place your focus you will move towards.

There is brain research that shows we grow neural tissue based on where we place our attention. It is called “attention density.” It is as true for thought patterns of fear, hate and anger as it is for peace, love and connection. The more neural tissue we grow, the easier it is to travel those thought paths.

If you want to get better on creating abundance and success no matter what, grow neurons that will support you in holding that focus, by focusing on what you really want.

There is an ebb and flow to everything and there are opportunities everywhere. People who are looking for opportunities will recognize them in abundance.

Focus on what you want. Decide what YOU want to design for YOUR life. Each one of us that takes CHARGE of our focus can make a contribution in a POSITIVE way on the situation before all of us. YOU can make a difference by how YOU show up in YOUR life.
