Yesterday I took the first of four classes on the book The Power of Focus - a great book. I have read it before, but the class is a great refresher to some great practical information. Some insights from the class.
· Habits determine your future. - Isn't that the truth? In my case emotional eating is a habit, as are other things that lead me to the place I am today. But, I'm changing those habits slowly but surely.
· You have control over your habits. - This is true - but it does take at least 21 days they say to change a habit. My personal opinion is it probably takes longer depending on how long you have had the habit. So, if you have had a habit for twenty years, I really don't think 21 days is going to do it. I would say more like 180 days - or perhaps even more time.
· Focus on your strengths - discover your brilliance. - What a concept. So many of us are doing things that my not be our best strength or our passion. I for one am going to focus more on things that bring me joy and happiness.
· You teach people how to treat you. - This one struck me. I guess I we all need to teach people how to treat us how WE want to be treated, not how they want to be treated. Does that make sense?
· A goal is the ongoing pursuit of a worthy objective until it is accomplished. - Ongoing pursuit being key in this tidbit of information. Like my weight release journey it is an ongoing pursuit and it is a worthy objective. So, I will keep going until I accomplish this goal.
· If you are feeling complacent then you haven't said "YES" to life. - This one struck me too. Sometimes I have the tendency to sit on the sidelines so to speak and not jump in and do what I know I want to do.
Well, I am off to
