It’s All About The F Word …….
No ! Not That F-Word …. The Other One – FOCUS ……
Staying focused is so important in any business – whether you are in a 9-5 job or working online. That is why the lack of focus has killed so many businesses, therefore it is vital that you stay focused.
I am going to tell you how focusing can help you to succeed in your business …..
It doesn’t matter what hours you are working, we have all been there. It’s one of those days where everything is demanding your attention and needing your time. You are checking and answering emails, maybe the phone keeps ringing, skype calls coming through whereby you end up multitasking in order to get everything done and at the end of it you feel as though you have not accomplished anything ….
When you are trying to doing all these things, it is nigh on impossible to really get stuck in and focus effectively on your work. Therefore instead of focusing and getting finished what you want to do you are spending the entire day jumping from task to task. Then when you decide you want to finish up and close down the computer you are feeling tense and your mind is in overdrive trying to figure out the chaos !!
Because of our busy lives, it is easy to fall victim to this very unproductive approach, but as luck will have it researchers have found a powerful solution that enables you to be more effective and less stressed. And that is mindfulness meditation. Mindfulness is a form of meditation that is effective and easy to implement, even when you already have such a busy schedule.
You can research this yourself and you will find that it shows that people who practice mindfulness are both more happy and productive than those who do not practice this. Researchers at Yale found that people who meditate were much more focused during the day, and not just when they were meditating. By meditating you will experience less of the distracting thoughts that are killing your concentration.
It was also found by a study at Harvard, that if your mind wanders it creates twice as much unhappiness as actually doing something that you don’t particularly enjoy. And this is mainly because our minds tend to wander toward negative thoughts. Then this produces extra anxiety and unhappiness. This means that your ability to be happy at whatever work you do, has very little to do with what you are doing and everything to do with your ability to remain focused on what you are doing.
Meditating will rid your mind of all the bad things wandering around in your head by training the brain to focus more intently. This is a simple process of making sure that you are mentally present. Meditating requires you to live for the moment and focus solely on what you are experiencing, rather than on what you are thinking. Practicing mindfulness will actually train your brain to maintain this focus all the time and as you gain control of your attention you will learn to become more focused and calm.
By training your brain to be mindful will ensure that you are able to spend more time making progress on what you are really wanting to work on. You will be able to do a better job of getting through your workload and not feel stressed at the end of the day.
Part two tomorrow will include a few strategies that you can use to be mindful of the moment and to train your brain to maintain focus for the long term…………

Thank you Raju for your comment.
A good lesson Merle. Staying focused in a world full of distractions is indeed a challenge but is key to one's success.
Thank you Terri, much appreciated.
Autosuggestion comes to mind after reading your post Merle. By using autosuggestion you are programming your mind to take action on and stay focused on what's important to you. Shared this post as well. Make it a great day.
