TVC 046  Finding Your Focus Mindset Magic:
Finding Your Focus - A Fresh Perspective.
You may be asking yourself at the moment with everything going on – where do I fit in, am I ever going to get my goals achieved?
We are constantly bombarded by social media and losing perspective on what is truly real rather than presented to us - this is is creating a confusing platform for many people who are just trying to look and feel their personal best,  balancing business and personal success.
In this episode I help you get back to basics to define what your personal best looks and feels like - at home, work and in wellbeing.  All part of the Vitality Road Map and creating the life you want.  I'm taking this from a post I wrote long ago and it's time to bring it up again. Time to reconnect and find your focus.
The first question I ask people in workshops is to define what their absolute best looks and feels like...and boy do they struggle to clearly state what that is.
Have we forgotten what feeling fantastic and loving our life feels like?
Never before have we been challenged so much on finding our true focus, and who we really are. The fact pre-schoolers are already on tablets and learning from screens is a signal to come that we are moving further and further away from personal interaction and a sense of connectivity. Yvette Adams and I spoke about this interviewing her for the book No Kidding.
It is challenging enough to truly connect with others, let alone ourselves. The more time we stare at screens and watch what every one else is doing, the more distance we are creating from our own imagination, thoughts and feelings.
The problem that I am seeing time and time again when I run my workshops or presenting, is that very few people can define what their personal best actually look and feels like.
Without a clear authentic definition of what being your personal best actually is, you can get dragged into so many different directions, styles of living, ways of being and presenting yourself that pull you further and further away from your true north.
Overall this results in a reduced sense of purpose and individuality and increased number of people walking around on autopilot.
It is my absolute mission to help change that and inspire a sense of independence and personal clarity. You can absolutely create the life you want – you just have to tune in and figure out what that may be.
I know myself how challenging it can be to really stand tall and see if you can define what you stand for.
I'm in an industry of health and wellbeing that is dominated by selfies, ab shots, diet tips, tricks and stage work. However  – the fact I have a very clear connection to the reason WHY I am working so hard to share and inspire, is helping me stay true to my message of vitality and not get caught up in the hype of quick fixes and comparisons.
Of course it can get distracting – but you need to stay strong, focused and have a good sense of what it feels like when you are truly authentic.
So here's how to get started right now:
The power of mindset - taking a moment to pause and reflect on what's truly important.
Mindset is magical when you can recognise you are getting off track and bring yourself back to an inner connection and sense of being in the present. Accept the fact this will happen. It’s human nature.
As discussed with the wonderful Mike Duff on earlier podcasts – we need to recognise the old ego and negative self talk, put it aside and determine the positive thoughts we want to keep and live by. This is essential when it comes to self-esteem, self-definition and personal growth.
