Energy Follows Focus

If there is one thing that we can control in these changing times, it is what we choose to focus on. As we focus on something, we reach out and touch this — even if it is just a concept, a sense, or a feeling — in order to bring that which it has to offer back inside ourselves.

As we keep focusing on the same thing, the importance of it in our lives will grow…

From there we can make a decision. Is the understanding of what this thing, this concept, entails all we wish to get out of it? Or do we wish to use this understanding to change something in our lives? In other words, do we want to use this understanding as a basis for something new we would like to manifest in our day to day lives?

If the enhanced understanding is it, then we usually move on and focus our attention, our thoughts, and yes, our energy on something else.

On the other hand, if we wish to use this new understanding as a foundation for creating newness in our lives, chances are we will start thinking about it, talking about it, and eventually  find that it manifests in one form or another in our lives…

This, in and of itself, is nothing new.

Where it becomes interesting is in the realization that we can control what we focus our attention, our thoughts and our energy on.

Especially in times when the whole world seems to go through enormous changes, that are picked up by news media and then broadcast continuously to anyone who is willing to listen, we are bombarded by information on what is happening in other parts of the world — information that comes on top of changes that are likely going on in our own lives — we may get the sense that there is hardly anything we can do to bring balance — or even peace — to the upheaval.

And yet, it is our choice where we focus our attention.

It is up to us to focus on those things that are positive, and have an immediate impact in our own lives.

As we focus on the things that work for us, but also on new adventures that can bring about positive changes in our lives, we permit those things, those concepts to grow, and even manifest in our lives.

New things. Fun things. Wholeness and creativity, on many different levels…

By the same token, if we focus our attention continuously on “everything that is wrong in the world”, chances are we make obstacles in our own lives bigger than the need to be…

Energy follows focus, and where we focus our attention is our choice to make…
