Where is Your Focus? 5 Tips To Gain Focus

When life seems to be going crazy all around you it's time to get laser focused. It's easy to get caught up in the craziness but if you want to survive the craziness you better keep your attention on your priorities. The moment you shift your focus will be the moment you get caught up in the whirlwind of life. You'll be sitting there broken, down and distressed wondering why you can't progress. Here are a few short tips to help you along the way:

1. Know your purpose. Why are you doing what you are doing. Keep this in the forefront of your mind. When drama comes your way knowing your purpose will help you dismiss the nonsense. You will be able to say this drama is not worth my jeopardizing my purpose.

2. Have a vision. You have to see your end result in front of you at all times. If you only can see what your current reality is you will be prone to lose hope. 

3. Feed yourself and surround yourself around positivity. You do this by renewing your mind daily with things that are going to encourage and strengthen you for where you want to go. Be mindful of what you say, hear and think. Get rid of all negativity! 

4. Make a List. Make a list of what you need to do every day before you go to bed. It's important to write it down so that your thoughts don't get jumbled in your head. If you write the list before you go to bed you can get up in the morning already knowing what needs to be accomplished versus having to take time to figure it out and becoming overwhelmed. A list brings clarity and helps you to avoid idle time. Idle time is the devils playground, he loves an empty or unsure mind that he can plant thoughts in. 

5. Read Your Word. Most importantly you need to open your Bible and read it. Reading self help books and supplemental Christian material is good but NOTHING can replace the Word of God. It doesn't matter what you are going through your answer can be found in the Bible. 

I know it can be easier said than done but know this IT CAN BE DONE! Believe it's possible, discipline yourself and be consistent! It's time to stay focused and press forward!
