It only takes a couple of minutes to discover the difference between what it feels like to be focused and being all over the place – I’ve been teaching people to focus for over fifteen years and I know how it works. Every week, my personal development online readers get simple ideas and tricks on how to focus their mind – and it’s free! Every week, people all over the world join my online seminars to learn exactly the same thing. So, what is focus about?
Firstly, you’ve got to understand that being focused doesn’t happen naturally. The normal adult mind is either buried in the past or worrying about the future. The worry you already know about – research shows that the majority of people are worried about not having any money, worried about their kids, worried about their job, worried about their pension. For every stage of life there is a set of worries. And all this worry is focused on things that didn’t happen yet – and, more importantly, things that we really don’t want to happen! What kind of idiot wastes their energy on stuff that they don’t want to happen? An ordinary idiot!
And even though we’re all aware of worry, we’re not conscious that our subconscious mind is focused on the past and it’s as a result of the past that we worry about what we don’t want to happen. We learned the things that we hate about ourselves when we were young – and our subconscious mind keeps on playing the same old cracked record. And you aren’t aware that it’s happening, so you’ve never been able to focus on doing something about the problem.
What you do need to realize is that you don’t need to do anything to sort things out if you train yourself to focus your mind on the here and now. That’s Right, that’s what focus is – a here and now thing. It’s where you live your life, it’s when you could be your very best if you could just focus, it’s the only place that you can be, you have no choice. The choice you have, however, is whether you’ll bother to turn up to your life or not. Once you decide to turn up, all else will be transformed.
OK then, how do you focus? Well, this is your first training session, right here, right now. Sit down in a place where you won’t be disturbed for a couple of minutes. When you’ve got comfortable, shut your eyes and just listen. You’re useless thoughts will try to distract you but, when this happens, just latch onto the next sound that comes your way. When you do something this simple, you teach your mind to pay attention to what is going on in just this moment – and that is what focus is.
Even if you just started with five minutes of sitting down and hearing, you’ll understand something oh so important – reality has nothing to do with the crap in your head that you’ve been paying all of your attention to.
