What are you Tuned Into?

I dont mean what radio station is blasting from your car. I mean what are you focusing your energy and attention on? I have blogged about it a lot, and its something I study often, read about, practice, preach, and teach. But I STILL find myself drift off course on occassion.(more occassions than I'd prefer!) This came up today again for me. I spent some time on the phone with a friend who really 'brought me down'. My head was in a different place after the conversation. I was focused on negative things, things that weren't serving me or my goals.

I got off the phone and called another friend I KNEW I could rely on to snap me back into place. It's a great thing to have friends who DONT agree with everything you say, friends who will stop you mid-complaint, mid-whine, mid-crapola and declare NO! I am that friend and mentor for a lot of people, and Im so blessed to have people in MY life who hold me accountable as well.

What I realized was that I can choose, at any moment, what I'm focusing on. I can choose to focus on negative thoughts, fear, worry, doubt, OR I can focus on my goals, on my game, on my relationship, on my business, on how well my life is going, on how excited I am about my future, on how I am making a difference in many people's lives, both through my business, as well as simply by the person I choose to be everyday.

I am committed to staying tuned into positive things. I am committed to remaining in a state of gratitude for ALL of the things I have been blessed with in my life. I have had some negative energy around a friend of mine for the last month or two. It has NOT served me well at well, and I have spent a considerable amount of time focused on it, and filling myself with anger, frustration, and a poisonous energy overall. Until it hit me. I am choosing that energy. And instead of staying in that negative space, I choose to let it go. Not only that but I took it one step further. I actually made a point to look at all of the reasons why I was grateful for that person. I came out of that exercise with a new perspective. I went from "not liking" to " fully appreciating"...simply by making the conscious decision to do so.

Are you holding onto regrets, resentments, and resignations about someone? Is that really helping you move towards your goals? Or is it holding you back? Make a list of 10 things you love about that person. Dont decide it will hard; decide it will be easy. Suddenly, if you give yourself the space to do so, you'll find love on the other side. Your energy will be uplifted and you'll feel so much better about everything overall.
