How to Focus on the Present
What are you doing right now?
Stop whatever it is you’re doing, and pause…
Take a deep breath in, hold it for a moment, and then gently release it.
I want you to think about a few questions…
Focus on the present, think about…
How are you feeling right now?
Are you happy, sad, stressed, or overwhelmed?
Do you feel the weight of your business or do you feel satisfied with your level of progress?
Time to come back…
Come back; don’t get too lost in all those thoughts.
Take a few more deep breaths.
Focus on right now, on this very moment.
There is a philosophy that states that most of us are either stuck on the sorrows of yesterday or focused on the worries of tomorrow. That is not a good place to be!
I want you to focus on the present and that comes by making sure your head is in the right place, and that you’ve got the right routines in place.
Focusing on the Present with Meditation
I’ve been meditating for years. Along with real estate affirmations, I’ve found that it is one of the best ways to start the day. There are a ton of great apps out there like HeadSpace that help you learn present moment meditation right from your phone. Or you can just spend some time focusing on your breath.
The method isn’t the important part, it is that you are taking time to clear your mind and not get caught up in all those thoughts.
You hear me say it all the time, your head is a scary place to be!
Routines Are Signs of The Ambitious
One of my favorite quotes is “Routine is the sign of an ambitious individual.” You know what I’m talking about; the routines, habits, and practices that will set you up for the win.
Most agents are simply reacting to whatever is happening in their lives. When you decide that you are going to follow a routine or a habit, it becomes clear that success isn’t an accident.
