Focus On What Matters

Focus can be defined as the center of interest or activity. I understand focus to be anything that allows you to calm your mind or soothe you. You can focus on a task that interests you or a task that you may need to get done. Your interests and needs may vary. Often your focus can be grounded in your goals. Your goals can teach you how to focus on what is most important to you. Self care, self love , happiness, joy, and mental health are important to me, so those are the things that I focus on.

My ultimate goal for this year is to focus on myself. I aim to relieve myself of the past and focus on my present moments. I will do this by reading, writing, and listening to music. I also enjoy watching different movies and various video clips on social media. Breathing exercises, stretching, and learning how to dance and exercise are also on my agenda.

I also have personal issues that need attending to that will require me to harness my willpower beyond what I may have the patience for.

I plan to focus on one thing at a time because I do not want to overwhelm myself. Overwhelming one's self with too many stressors or overstimulation can lead to burnout and fatigue. I will continue to give myself grace and compassion when things become to overbearing. This is the same thing I would do for others, so I need to remind myself that I am just as deserving of that space for myself.

Anything that is not for my highest good I will not give my attention to. Whether that be relationships, drama, toxic work environments, etc. I will always honor myself and what is best for me because I am my number one priority.

What you decide to focus on should be something that is of a certain priority to you. Our priorities change with time and for different reasons.

My focus may not be the same as other people's and that is okay; I am learning to be confident in what I decide to do for me.
