Need Extra Focus for Your Day?

FocusWho doesn’t?

When you’re making the transition from working on family and friends to starting up your energy healing practice, it’s so easy to get sidetracked when there’s a lot to do.

One of the simplest, most effective techniques I’ve found is to set a one-minute intention.

  • One minute is all you need to focus your time and attention.
  • One minute is all you need to remind yourself of what’s important.
  • One minute is all you need to revitalize your course and heading.

Here’s how it works:

How to Set a One-Minute Intention

Step 1

At the beginning of your day, grab a piece of paper and pencil, set your timer for one minute, and ask yourself this question:  What is the big vision for my day?

Then just write the first things that come to you.

Never mind about editing, spelling, or structure. Don’t let your left-brain engage with the things that you should get done today. No need to try and figure out how you are going to do this. Just write until the timer goes off.

Now, sit back and focus on the list.

Next, put your list in a convenient place where you can easily access it throughout the day.

Here’s how it works:  You engage the intuitive, right-side of your brain that looks at the whole of your day and synthesizes it when you ask, What is the big vision for my day?

Step 2

Set your timer, watch, or computer to go off at the top of each hour, for one minute, for the remainder of your workday.

When the beep goes off, take out your piece of paper, look at what you wrote and focus on it and nothing else for one minute.

After the minute is up, put your list away and go about your day knowing that the left-side of your brain will actively engage in the process of objectively looking at the parts and putting them in a sequential order that is logical.

Here’s why it works: Most individuals have a distinct preference for either left or right-brain styles of thinking. By utilizing this whole-brain exercise, you will discover that your production will increase, distractions decrease, and you will feel more energized because you are focused and on-task throughout your day.

That’s all there is to it.
