HEALTHY FOCUS-CYCLING UP

Having healthy focus isn't just about being physically healthy. It's about making healthy life choices.  

"What's that suppose to mean?" you might ask. "Isn't it the same thing?"

Well, sure it can be if your only focus was your physical appearance.

But what we are going to do is focus on our energy from the inside out.  For us to do this we have to rethink, re-purpose & reuse.  

And just about now your thinking, "ok, this lady has gone off the deep end. She is now talking about recycling."

Well, actually that's true as well.  Think about it for a minute. When we recycle-what are we doing?  We are taking something that doesn't really have a value to us any longer & we are giving it a new purpose, so it can be utilized for another reason.  We have changed the physical structure of that object. We have morphed it into something entirely different than what it was -to the eye at least. But the DNA of that aluminum can or other such object still exist.  It's just encased differently.

How do we 'become the can' so to speak?  

RECYCLE THE WAY YOU THINK!

We are going to learn how we can take our DNA, the stuff that makes you YOU & we are going to re-purpose it.  We are going to refocus our energy on what motivates us. Through this synchronizing method we are going to redirect our attention from what doesn't work to what will.  When we have this mindset and positive energy we will feel vital again.  This vitality and renewed vigor is paramount to the changes that need to take place to make whatever we dream a reality. 

If you have gotten this far it may be safe to presume that you like what you hear but you are a little skeptical .  This sounds to good to be true. This is just another one of those gimmicks & eventually there will be some hidden 'to learn more, buy now' button that pops up.  Guess what?  I hate those too!  So believe me-it's not gonna happen. 

My purpose is pure.  In a world full of liars and get rich quick schemes I am still hopeful that people like you and me know that honest people do exist and we truly want something better for this world and are standing up, standing out and making a change.

That brings me to my point.  BooHooBlogs isn't about feeling sorry for yourself.  It's about understanding. We may want something more for ourselves - financially, emotionally, physically, spiritually but we feel challenged.  How do I know what I need? And once I do-what steps do I take to achieve it?  Acknowledging the challenges we all face everyday & finding a new way to deal with those challenges by providing guidance, resources & an avenue to bring clarity, and the focus we need is what this blog is all about. 

This is the first step.  Don't worry this is not a 12 step program. You can stop in whenever you have the need . I will be here to give you the encouragement, to help provide relief to a stressful day & to help you to refocus your energies on what matters most to you.  

Consider this blog an outlet to pure synergy for your mind, body & spirit.  

Challenge 1:  Write down at least 10 things you are thankful for today.

Every day continue this same process.

I understand it sounds difficult. But it's not about finding things you mastered that day. It's about finding the value in every day things and being thankful for those. It will get easier & easier the more you do it.

Let me get you started.   I am thankful that I woke up feeling refreshed. No? You are still tired?  Well are you thankful you woke up?  Ok. LOL Use that.  

You see it's about changing our mindset. It doesn't have to be a ALL or None.  Start small & go from there.  Nothing is conquered overnight. 

Get away from things like, "I'm thankful the day wasn't a complete disaster." And rather state the things that went well.  And yes we might be thankful that we didn't kill anyone today but that thought is really coming from a negative place, so we want to avoid that type of thinking & focus on the positives.  You have to start somewhere so here are a few more ideas.  Remember start small & build from there. 

I'm thankful I had coffee this morning. 

I'm thankful for my kids. 

I'm thankful I arrived to work on time.

I'm thankful I have a roof over my head and food in the fridge.

I'm thankful it's warm.

I'm thankful I'm safe & protected.

I'm thankful I survived the week.

I'm thankful I can read.  

I'm thankful I can speak.

I'm thankful to be thankful.

The more thankful we are for little things in life, those things we often get too busy and tend to overlook, we will refocus our minds and embrace them & the small things will begin to grow into larger, "I'm thankful fors..." and the more often we can empty our minds of negative thinking, and replace those thoughts with true thankfulness we will begin to see more blessings come into our lives.  

Remember what I mentioned earlier about starting from the inside.  Here is where it begins. Use "Healthy Focus to help you Cycle Up" your life to bigger & better things.
