Focus

January 23, 2014 | by Natalie Caine | No Comments

Ocean_Sunrise_0936.jpgFebruary is around the corner. I think it is fun to choose a focus for the month.

Yes, LOVE is always a great focus.  What do you love about YOUR life today?  Is it your SMILE you give to others, your ease at SHIFTING when you have a disappointment, or is it your CURIOSITY that keeps you moving forward, rather than whirling about the past?

What is it you love about YOU?  Begin with that list.

What is it you love about someone in your life?   What do you love about your creativity or career?  Your wellness practices?  Your devotion to….?

Choose to focus on the POSITIVE in February. Begin with a notebook that you keep on your bed stand.  Just jot down a few words before you fall asleep. What I love about…. is…… It is really fun at the end of the month to read over your notes. It’s like a love LETTER to yourself for a whole month.

What you love helps you continue that behavior and helps you make new CHOICES of what you want and don’t want in your life.   Sounds simple, and yet, you forget that happiness is a magnet for more happiness.

Golden_572.jpgBEGIN something to focus on in the month of February around the word LOVE.   Give it light, like the LIGHT of this sunrise photo I shot in Palos Verdes, Ca.  Focus on YOU and what you love about your life.  You have many different PARTS to you: the wise one, the creative, the problem solver, the forgiver, the cook, the athlete, the curious, the leader, the organizer, the meditator, etc.  What do you LOVE ABOUT YOUR LIFE TODAY?   Start your journal and have fun with it.

DOODLE in it, one night write some words of love using your NON-DOMINATE hand,( I am a lefty, so for fun , I write with my right hand), close your eyes and HEAR what people have said about you that made you smile, what do you do DAILY that you would be sad to not be able to do?

Happy focusing on love,
Natalie
