"LOVE IS the new currency.

PEACE IS the new measure of success.

TRUTH IS the new security.

JOY IS the new status symbol."

~Debbie Barnett~

It took going upside down for me to really get it when it comes to focus. In the year it took me to master a handstand, I learned a lot about the subject. The instant my gaze wandered off course in my many attempts at balancing on my hands, I would instantly come crashing down to Earth. When I kept my focus steady, everything eventually "lifted" into place and I achieved the balance point of effortless effort.

In your life and work, do you find yourself spending more time in that place of balance or do you come crashing down? If the former is true for you, hurray! You've learned the power of focus. Keep up the good work! If it's more of the latter, take a moment to review where you are losing your focus.

There are times when we all lose focus. No big deal. How quickly you regain focus, however, will determine how quickly you'll return to the balance point (or find it for the first time).

On what do you focus? Is it the positive, or the negative side of things? On what you want, or don't want? On the present and future, or the past? On what you have, or don't have?

Start each day with a clear intention on your priorities and don't let yourself become distracted. If your energy is scattered, the return on that energy will be scattered as well.

How to get your focus back on track:

• Notice when you start to feel scattered or when things seem like a burden.
• Know what your intention is and what you want to accomplish.
• Take a deep breath. Take a few more.
• Let go of that which no longer serves you.       Focus on the highest return for your time and energy.

You don't have to go upside down to learn focus, but it does help! Get clear on what you want and you'll draw it to you. The clearer you are, the quicker it comes.

Namaste,

Debbie
