Where are you focusing your energy?

Energy and persistence conquer all things.
Benjamin Franklin (1706 - 1790)


Are you focusing on the right things?

Have you spent time deciding where you put your energy or are you caught up in habits? In putting out fires? In old routines?

When was the last time you decided where you spend your energy, instead of being pulled by the current of life?

I often find myself doing activities and tasks that do not inspire me. I have realized that I want to be more mindful of where I spend my energy, passion and focus. We all fall into ruts that at one time were new and inspiring. Are you in ruts accomplishing little or routines that support your well being and vision?

For many years I wasted energy and allowed myself to squander it. After making decisions as to where I placed my energy and focus, amazing things happened. I look back over the past few years and sit amazed at the power of focus to create results.

The word persistence, inspires me to look at the value of commitment and dedication to my vision. Keeping to a routine or a practice that will yield me the results desired over time, has taught me to trust myself and has brought me an understanding of the word patience. Sitting back after time has passed and being able to see and feel the results has been a critical element for me to keep up with my practices. It teaches me to allow myself the time to comprehend the power of persistence. It shows me each effort adds up and brings me closer to the vision I desire.

What needs a focusing of your attention?

What action will get the energy moving?

What needs a jumpstart?

What is needing an influx of energy? Of focus?

What idea or relationship has been just waiting to be brought to life?

As a creative person, you know how many ideas you have that are just waiting for you to take action on. Those bright ideas that you just keep fantasizing. The ideas that you find yourself daydreaming about, and making a smile come to your face…

They are the same bright ideas that make ya feel sort of like a looser cause you are not doing anything to bring them to life.

That’s ok! We all have them! We all are spreading ourselves thin sometimes. We all forget sometimes what our priorities are when the day to day nonsense takes hold of us!!
It’s ok!

So in this moment, let’s pause…breathe…breathe again…

So what needs a jumpstart?

Yesterday, I had the most amazing energy infusion into my book. I have been working on my book for the past several months and have found myself on a journey that has taught me so much about my creative process. It has shown n me how much my personal process depends on energy infusions that include other people.

My process is about allowing myself to simmer and stew and then it wants to bring it to a boil with the energy of other people. Then back to the simmer…I have been able to explore, understand and accept my creative process, with a surrender that feels like such a blessing.

So, what is your creative process like?

What allows for you to move?

Is it alone time?

Is it people time?

What action will you take today to bring energy and focus to your ideas?
