What is your focus for the New Year? Are you excited that it is going to be great or are you fearful and just don’t know what to do? Where should you begin? How should you even start. Sometimes, we have an idea of what we want to do, but we are uncertain if we should even begin the task because of fear. What if I can’t do it? All kind of doubts begin to cloud our minds, and we become “stuck” and do nothing! It could help tremendously if you just focus on positive things. Well, how do you do that?
- There are a few things that you could consider: (1) choose a motivational word that could jumpstart your mind and give you focus, the word I have chosen is “Accomplish” that is what I hope to do this year towards writing my third book. (2) You may create a vision or display board to encourage you of the direction you may choose. It is important to use pictures, words, illustrations and objects from magazines and other media to define the things that will help you reach your goals. (3) If the display board is not your thing, you may choose small, individualized booklets which consist of blank or lined pages for you to identify your interests. Again, you may use tools similar to those on the display board, but on a smaller scale to bring your new focus to life. Let your creative mind soar to express yourself of several things that you could do to help focus on your journey. (4) Finally, choose your mantra to help you stay focused on the journey. A mantra is a phrase, slogan or statement repeated frequently to help you stay motivated. You may have different mantras to keep you encouraged. They may be physical, invoke strength, healing, self-confidence or a positive mindset. This slogan could help you remember and focus on the plans you have set.
Rise above the fear! When I think about writing or accomplishing my book, I remember that this is not the first time, and neither am I the first person to publish a book. If I did it before, I could do it again if I stick to the plan. A scripture I like to think about is Philippians 4:13, “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me” which encourages me to believe and trust in him and that I am not alone, but the Lord helps me to endure the trials. There is no fear in him, that is my mantra to trust him and believe, together, we got this!
