Where is your focus?

In case you were wondering, I am still on-track with my P90X workouts!  It's now been 61 days (holy cow!) and I have to admit it's been much more challenging to stay on-track while on vacation here at the lake.  I did miss 1 day, but I'm counting that as one of the "Rest" days you get once a week and I'll make-up for it this Sunday by skipping this week's "Rest" day.

This isn't the topic today, but here's a question... when you get off-track for an hour, a day, or a week... do you let yourself off the hook and tell yourself you'll just wait until the next day, week, or month?  Or do you keep on going regardless of getting off-track temporarily?  Everyone has an off-day, but how does it benefit you to make that off-day into an off-month?  Not at all! 

Ok, so today's topic is "Where is your focus?".  This morning's workout was Yoga X - which by the way is definitely not my favorite workout - and there's this one part where he tells you to.... "reach your hands to the sky and get up on your tippy toes".  Take a second and do that right now... stand tall, reach your hands to the sky and get up on your tippy toes.. and hold it there for 10 seconds....

Are you back?  What did you find?  I don't know about you but I kept on losing my balance and falling back onto my heels.  On the DVD he says...don't focus on your toes down below...focus on your hands in the air!

In other words, focus on where you want to be instead of focusing on where you don't want to be!  The bottom line is that you always get more of what you focus on.  If I tell you to look around the room and ignore anything that is the color green right now what do you think you'll see all over the place?  :)  Yup, you'll wonder where all these green items came from!

So, in your business, what are you focused on?  Are you thinking about all the voice mails you'll get when making phone calls?  Or are you thinking about how many excited women will be on the other line when you make that phone call?  Are you focused on all those people that are in a recession right now?  Or are you focused on how many women are still buying skin care & cosmetics despite having to cut back on other things? 

You have the power to direct your path simply by choosing what to focus on in your mind.  Are you focused on how high your hands are going?  Or are you focused on why you keep losing balance in your toes?  I dare you to focus on how amazing your future will be... 2 hours from now... 2 days from now... 2 weeks from now... 2 years from now!
