MaXIMIze - Sowing The Seeds

Here is a portion of a journal entry I wrote earlier this month:

"This is the month for tilling the garden and sowing the seeds - what do I want to grow in my life this year? What weeds do I need to pull out of my garden of life? What rocks do I need to remove from my soil? What fertilizer do I need to add to my life to help me better move toward my goals?"

That journal entry was focused on, well, FOCUS - do I focus on the negative things at work or do I focus on the promise of the future? Do I lament about the things I have not done on my to-do list or do I focus on the positives in my life and endeavor to do better just for today?

Here is more from that entry:

"Yesterday is past, tomorrow may never come, so focus just on today. The past is done - focus on the present. Plan for the future, yes, but focus on the present - what can I do today to move toward my goals, my desired outcomes?"

So, what do you want to see more of in your life this year? Is your focus such that you are working toward that vision, or are you focusing on things that are moving you away from attaining that vision? What can you do right here, right now to move toward that vision you have for your life?

Pretty powerful stuff!

And yes, I journal nearly every day, first thing in the morning mostly. It helps to clear the flotsam and jetsam and set the tone for the day. It also helps me focus on the vision I have for my life and sort through the life plants, so I can pull the weeds from life, which helps the plants I want in my life to thrive.

Julia Cameron, author of The Artist's Way, recommends three pages of long-hand journaling first thing in the morning to clear out the negativity and flotsam and jetsam so you can focus on what needs to be focused on.

CALL TO ACTION: Journal; lay out your vision; till the field of your life for the upcoming year.

CHECK-IN: How are you doing with the other calls to action thus far? Are you moving out on your goals for the year? If not, perhaps the information in today's post will help you to refocus your energy to do so.

NEXT TIME: Next post will discuss seven questions to help you focus on living your best life now, and possibly how to use manifestation boards to keep that focus firmly in front of you.

Until next time, Namaste!
