Focus: The Magic Door to Freedom and Fulfilment - a podcast by Katie
from 2022-02-03T09:00
Focus is one of the topics I am most passionate about! I have found, time and time again that focus contributes to freedom and fulfillment.
- There are three types of focus: short-term focus (on the task at hand), long-term focus (goals & directions), selective focus (thoughts & emotions)
- Short-term focus helps you to work effectively on any activity. This helps you to be inflow. Flow, also known as optimal experience, makes you feel fulfilled at the moment, and also is one of the main factors of high levels of productivity.
- Long-term focus – clarity on your goals – provides you with a clear direction. This gives you the freedom to decide how you want to reach your goals. Having a clear direction actually provides you with freedom – and it also contributes to your fulfillment.
- Selective focus comes down to managing your thoughts and emotions. Focusing on what is in your control – your own thoughts, emotions, and actions – drastically shifts how you place your attention and energy. You feel more fulfilled the more you develop this ability to switch between different thoughts and manage your feelings.
Focus is a fantastic vehicle for freedom and fulfillment. It is one of the fundamental tools that can support you in leading a fulfilled life. It spreads its light and magic in all areas of your life!
