I could easily think of an appropriate word for my 'f' letter today but being the good mannered person that I am I will find another.......ummm thinking, thinking, thinking???
Ok the word for today is "Focus" - and quite simply the word FOCUS for me means to do the following
W - watch your words
A= watch your actions
T= watch your thinking
C= watch your character
H= watch your heart
It's about being on 'watch', it's about being focused on every part of my being. There's no better way to stay focused than to be mindful of each of these actions.
How good I am at doing it remains to be seen, it's a bit like my being "Miss Congeniality" as I wrote about in another blog. I don't always remember it in every minute of my day but I am brought back to that reality at some point in each day.
Sometimes it's during a conversation with someone and sometimes it's because somehow I find myself not being very congenial and catch myself.
I guess it's practicing 'mindfulness'. Being mindful about everything I do whether that's eating a sandwich, drinking a glass of water, washing the dishes and even driving the car which I found out today through a costly lesson.
To be in the moment in everything that I do, now that's something to aspire to and something I will practice. I know I won't do it all right today, tomorrow, next week or maybe not in years but if I can consciously do my best to be more focused then I know my life will all the better for it.
