Where is your focus now?
Now that we’ve figured out what it is that we WANT to have more of, it’s time to take a quick look at what it is that we normally spend most of our mental and physical energy focusing on. This is important because one aspect of our project is that we will be working on tweaking, or changing our focus so that it works for us instead of against us. So, we need to know where the biggest changes may need to occur.
When I was thinking about this, I realized that my life is divided into 3 distinct time zones:
- At home
- At work
- With family
When I’m at home, I spend most of my mental and physical energy working on my website, which I enjoy very much. However, I have noticed that my running mental commentary consists mainly of stressing over not having enough time to get everything done. As a result, I am constantly tired and stressed.
When I’m at work, I spend all of my physical energy doing my job, and my mental energy is pretty much used up by my resistance to having to work so hard. My running mental commentary consists mainly of wishing I could just get it over and done. Even when it’s not that bad of a day, my mind is still firmly entrenched in just wanting to get done and get home…. to work on the website that I don’t have enough time for. No wonder I’m exhausted most of the time!
When I’m with family, it seems like I focus mostly on them. Usually I have a lot of fun, and find it relaxing – probably because I’m not resisting, and I’m not rushing… LOL
What about you?
- Does your focus change depending on where you are and what you are doing?
- What do you find yourself putting the most energy and effort into?
- What do you pay the most attention to?
- Where does your mind like to go when you are at work? at rest? with family? alone?

I think it's time to go shopping... maybe even buy some really cool stuff at my online shops!!
Yes, definitely focus changes depending on where I am at. When at work, like you, I resist being there. Thinking of what I could be doing if I was not there but conscious of the fact that there would be no money if I was not. Family is hard for me. I want to enjoy the time but…..I find myself wishing our family dynamic weren’t so screwed up. Home…..wish I had both more time to be there and more money to get stuff done there. Sigh
I find it really interesting how I spend so much mental energy resisting and stressing … and it is so exhausting … and then I resist and stress over being exhausted… it’s like a poison loop.
🙁
I was thinking the same thing. So much time and energy wasted
