Most people live their lives on autopilot. Are you falling into the same trap?
Want to level up your focus this weekend?
Pay attention to what’s fueling your distractions. Things like mindless scrolling are often fueled by specific emotional triggers, like stress. The more you understand about your triggers, the more intentional & proactive you can be about staying on task.
Next time you catch yourself going down the rabbit hole, ask yourself a few quick questions:
How are you feeling? Anxious? Stressed? Overwhelmed?
Is this distraction actually helping you address/resolve this emotion?
From there, take proactive steps to support & maintain focus. If you’re reaching for your phone whenever you’re stressed, remind yourself that finishing the thing you’re stressed about is going to improve your stress levels far more than avoiding it. Know you need a break? Be intentional about choosing one that will set you up for success, like a 10-minute walk to reset & refresh versus 10 minutes of doomscrolling.
Remember, the goal here isn’t to eliminate things like using on your phone or watching Netflix. It’s about learning to control your distractions, not letting them control you.
1. You don’t have to be the most talented or skilled to dominate your space, you just need to be confident in your ability to figure it out - and willing to take the leap.
2. You can’t shortcut success, you build it brick-by-brick. Are your actions building the future you want?
3. People will doubt, question, and criticize you no matter what you do. Forget what they think, and focus on your own climb.
4. The mindset of caution is a mindset of fear. Don’t let it keep you small.
5. Figure out your Next Right Move, dive in, and take what you want.
6. If you try to be the same as everyone else, you’re going to end up with the same results…which isn’t saying much. If you want to be different, you have to do something different.
