A Coaching Moment: Where is your attention?

Move toward what you want | Life Coaching with MuseLaura

 

Let me ask you a question: Think about what you want to be different in your life.

Answer it. I’ll wait…

Now, did you think of something positive or negative? Were you thinking about what you don’t want or you want?

In other words, are you moving toward what you want or away from what you don’t want?

Why does it matter?

In the world of manifesting, it is the difference between success and failure. (And my regular readers understand my disgust of the word failure. I do NOT like that word! So if I am to use it, you know I mean business!)

You get what you think about, whether you want it or not.

Where your attention is focused, your energy will go.

Are you thinking about not being fat or being vibrant and fit? Are you thinking about not being in debt or being financially independent? Are you thinking about not being alone or being in a loving, supportive relationship?

Can you feel the difference?

Huge, isn’t it?

In order to succeed, you must change your focus from where you were to where you want to be.

This shift isn’t always easy. In fact, it can be downright hard, depending on how attached you are to they way it has been.

I have some suggestions to make it easier:

  1. Soon, what DO you want? Of course, you must begin by figuring out wha you want! If you aren’t sure yet, check out here for a few thoughts and suggestions.
  2. Keep your attention on it. Images are powerful, powerful tools to help you stay focused on what you want. Hang image that represent what you want or how you want to feel all around you. Great spots are the bathroom mirror, refrigerator, corner of the computer screen, desktop wall paper, lock screen. (And don’t choose one area – plaster all of them!)
  3. Imagine it regularly: The most powerful visualization times are right before bed and right when you wake up in the morning. Visualize, visualize, visualize!
  4. Choose your action steps: Action steps are MUCH easier to follow when you are moving toward something wonderful rather than away from something bad. Choose your action steps and remember they represent where you are going!

The more you practice, the easier it will be. Living life moving forward rather than by checking the rearview mirror is a powerful place to be!
