How to stay focused and achieve more

Another way we sometimes focus more on negatives instead of the positives in life, is just about anytime we try to make an improvement in our lives. Whether it's interviewing for a new job, applying for a loan for a home or new car, or working on a new relationship that we have want so badly to work out. Our belief system kicks in, and before you know it there's that little voice again saying "I don't deserve this, really". Maybe you have learned to ignore that little subconscious voice, but you know it's still there, right? And the thing is, that voice seems to be louder when we're about to do something really important to us. I think there is a direct
correlation to the negative voice and the importance of what we are doing!

Ok, here's an example: was planning my daughters birthday party recently, and wanted to have it in a local park. Great place for party's because you don't have to clean up! Anyway, I suddenly got this scary thought, what if it rains?! Oh, no! What then? It will be ruined! Just it was before, only that didn't happen before. That's right, we had her party there last year, and it was perfect weather. So what was I worried about? That little voice kicked in big time! Why do I listen.

From now on, when I hear that little voice, I'm going to train myself to immediately think of the opposite. That's right, if a negative pops into my head, I will immediately think of the exact opposite and how that situation is much more likely to happen! So instead of getting rain for the party it will be totally gorgeous. Instead of making a mistake or being late for that project at work, I'm going to nail it and get a huge raise. Instead of being tired when I go to the gym tomorrow, I'm going to say "wow, I'm so energetic today, where's it coming from?". And it will all be true, because I planted another little voice, one that's positive all the time. Make it a habit, and I will be totally set!

Ok, I'm sure you have heard of the saying "fake it until you make it" right? Well the way to start a brand new habit, especially if it's one that isn't very easy in the beginning, is to fake it. Yes you heard me. Get yourself into the frame of mind that allows you to focus on what you really want, in fact start your day with this thought in the morning.

This may sound kind of crazy, but the best way to focus on your goals is to write them down. Once you write them down, keep them handy where you can read them on a regular basis, especially first thing in the morning and the last thing before you go to bed at night. This way you are creating a very strong habit of focusing on what you want in life, rather than what you don't want.

It may sound ridiculously simple to say you're going to do that, but it really can be done. If you have a habit of thinking of the worst that may happen, just focus on the positive things that happen in your life. Pretty soon you will notice more and more positive things happening, and realize that your focus is changing your reality. Focus on the "wins" in your life, and you will most certainly have more of them. I promise!
