  • Feeling depressed, insecure, anxious or fearful?

The focus of our thoughts makes a big difference in our results. It’s critical that we pay attention to what is going on internally. If you are feeling bad, it means that you are paying attention to what you don’t want to happen; but if you are feeling great, it’s a sure sign that you are dwelling on what you desire. Focus on what you want, not what you don’t want. We need to consciously decide moment after moment and to use our will to control the direction of our entire focus — the pictures, sounds, tastes, smells, feelings and self-talk — only toward what we want, not on what we don’t want. It’s easier said than done. A person , on average, thinks of 3,000 thoughts per hour. How do you even begin to attempt to control such a large volume of thoughts?
USE YOUR WRITING TO DO IT. Writing is a powerful way of practicing awareness and controlling your focus. Writing has an amazing attribute, unique among human activities. It is the only activity that requires the mind and body to be absolutely and completely synchronized to be done. When you write, your mind and body are instantly unified, giving you tremendous focus.
