Change your mind. First you see it, and then you do it.
Abraham Lincoln once said "Most folks are about as
happy as they make up their minds to be."
Imagine...enjoying doing what you are passionate
about today. Fitting in a personal priority by taking action.
What will you focus on today? You are in charge. If you
must pick up a friend at the airport, do you find a way to
fit it in to your schedule? The good news is that you can
bring focus and achievement to two priorities beginning today.
What are two things you need to accomplish today
(to enhance your business or personal success)?
Remember the journey begins with the first step. The
journey is part of the fun when you take small steps
toward what you want daily.
If one of those areas is improving focus, let's consider an
area of your home or business where you could reduce
clutter. Get a mental picture of this area and imagine how
it would feel to have it clean and clear.
Today, I imagine my office finally free of clutter. I move a
cloth across my computer to remove a bit of dust. I pick
flowers from my garden and place them on the newly
cleared area next to my freshly organized desk. The clearing
allows room for creativity, releases the clutter and feels so
relaxing. It makes room for new possibilities. How do I begin?
I set the kitchen timer for 15 minutes right now and sort through
those pesky things on my desk that belong in other rooms,
put away items I do not use daily. I sort paperwork (toss, do, file)
and still have time to begin the filing process today. The timer
dings and as I look at the progress, I smile. I breathe deeply
as the sense of calm refreshes my body.
Here are my affirmations for today (and the next 14 days):
I enjoy clearing out the old to make room for new opportunities.
I trust and value myself and my choices.
I write down my affirmations and place them inside my kitchen
cabinet where I keep my coffee mug and will be sure to see them
each morning.
Here's the process again:
- Choose 2 priorities to focus upon. Select one to act on now.
- Create a positive affirmation (stated as if it exists today).
- Begin taking reasonable action now (15 minutes to clear my desk).
- Take a moment to enjoy the progress toward what you need (ding goes the timer).
- Celebrate success and the progress. Remind yourself as you prepare to go to sleep (15 minutes before you drift off to peaceful sleep).
When you are comfortable with the continued progress on this one priority, move on
to the next priority.
Remember the good news - you are in charge of your day. Awareness
and choice are incredible tools for you to focus on for success.

Congratulations on your decision to bring focus back on your priority today.
First you see it, and then you do it. Enjoy the journey today.
