focus on you, not the dumb shit

Do you ever find yourself focusing on things that are so useless and distract you from the things you need to get done?

Yeah, we all know what this feels like, but sometimes it’s hard to shut off that secondary voice in your head telling you to focus on that little thought. Unfortunately, we live in a world where most of us focus on stuff that isn’t important at all, but we expect to get things done. And then we realize that we’ve wasted valuable time that we can’t get back.

Life is as short as a breath, and it should be lived fully with every moment because each new day is a gift. The problem with most people is that we believe that the future holds all the things that we’ve ever dreamed of. We never think about the now and acknowledge that those dreams can be made a reality quickly if we just stopped giving so much attention to the bullshit.

It may seem like a hard thing to grasp, but it’s not. First, you need to stop focusing on insignificant things. Then, once you can get over that hill, you will be able to take control of your life and do the things you have wanted to do for years.

With just a few steps, you can get there:

• Step one - realizing when you’re focusing on something you have no control over.
• Step two - once you know that, use your inner voice to tell yourself to switch over to something more positive and focus on the now instead of the past or future.
• Step three - put yourself in the mindset of what today brings you, not tomorrow.
• Step four - layout your goals for the day and what you aspire to get finished.
• Step five - shoot for the stars!

Even if you think you can’t get out of the mindset of focusing on stuff that you can’t control, remind yourself you can do it and be proud of your progress every step of the way.
