…Energy Flows. 

At least that is what I have seen manifest in my own life. Whenever I have focused on anything, whether it be positive or negative, it has happened, and often with exaggeration. I’m not talking about the things that happen in life that are beyond our control, I am talking about intent to move our creative self in a certain direction.   

These last several years, I have been working hard on keeping my eye in the realm of positive.  Not in the way of saying I don’t want something to happen but by putting it out there exactly what I do want. 

Focus can be general, such as I want to succeed at my writing.  This means at the minimum putting words to paper, but anything beyond that is relative and open to interpretation.

Focus can be specific, such as I want to publish my novel.  This means completing my novel to the best of my ability and taking all the steps necessary to get my work into print, whether it be self-publishing or taking the traditional route. 

Each day that I focus my energy on writing and take the time to write is success, and each step forward takes me closer to my end goal. 

I have been setting aside 45 minutes to an hour most days to write on my novel. Sometimes it’s 200 words, other times it’s 500 and upwards. This is my selfcare just like walking and running or mediation and prayer.

Where is your focus?
