Guardian Word of the Week: Focus

It’s easy to feel scattered as we deal with everything we have to do in a day. But we always have the power to choose our own focus.

Take a deep breath, let it out, and say the word “Focus” ten times, counting on your fingers each time:

Focus

When I did this, I found that I immediately wanted to do it again, so join with me in another round:

One of the definitions of Focus is “directed attention,” and just by saying the word we can direct our attention back to our own center.

After repeating it several times, I feel much calmer and more centered. Check in and notice what you feel in your body as we continue to engage with Focus:

I had originally thought I would be writing here about consciously directing our focus, but after engaging with the word this way, I feel that the energy of the word is a powerful kind of Medicine, all by itself:

Create a new relationship with the energy of focus this week, and let me know how it makes you feel!
