Challenge #7: Focus at the Center
Challenge #7: Focus at the Center
All of the stuff with none of the fluff.
Small is my advantage, and it can be yours too.
Today, let’s uncover a bit more of what a focused life might look like for you.
Pro tip: This exercise is a good one to do in silence. Find a place or lock a door and give yourself a few minutes of quiet to think on the following steps.
Starting on the left side of the page, where the arrows point outwards, jot down everything taking up space in your mind right now. Tasks, to-dos, conversations, worries.. all of it. Word vomit those bad boys all around that side of the page.
Take a minute to let your eyes wander around the word cloud. What’s the one thing that, if it were true, if it were prioritized, would quiet 50% or more of those items? What in your life needs more of you but isn’t getting it?
Now, on the right side, where the arrows point inward, write that one thing at the center of the arrows.
Like we said in Monday’s article, you might have to shrink your world to find what matters. And it’s probably going to feel like shit at first. You’re going to have to say no to a lot of good things, good people.
That’s okay.
Because you deserve to live the life you want. Not just the one you’ve been distracted into.
