With the news and general buzz around, the consensus has tried to get us to think about all the bad things going on and bring you down. Well, instead of dwelling on what you can’t control, FOCUS on what you can control.

Focus on Possibilities – It can be easy to join the “negative” doom and gloom, but I would like to challenge you to focus on the possibilities of new adventures, joint partnerships, connecting with people, new services. Now is a good time to go over your marketing materials such as your website, blog and focus on your message to your clients. Be sure your message is one of hope and possibilities. Convey the way you can help them, how you are solve their issues.

Focus on Motion – When people are talking about negative events, it can cause you to get frozen in your tracks and stay in one place. You can bust out of this by creating forward motion in your efforts. Don’t allow yourself to use your energy into what you can’t do, focus your efforts on positive energy. Don’t sit down and do nothing. Find ways to be doing something—write a new blog post. Ask for a post from a colleague regarding a complementary service and create a package to offer for a limited time. Don’t let the fear get the best of you.

Focus on Giving – Sometimes, when energy is low, there can be a lack of giving. You don’t want to get sucked into this vibe. Remain a giver by offering your suggestions, tips and comments for others in your networking and social media groups. When you give, you become lighter and you feel better–giving always feels good. You also will stand out as a resource for those who need you.

Focus on Blessings - This is a big thing for me and it always seems to really save me when I am feeling a little bit like things aren’t going so great. I either write down (I am a writer) or verbalize those things I have to be grateful for in my life. I then I choose to focus on those blessings. When you focus on blessings, you will feel a shift in your attitude and your vision for possibilities will appear to you much easier.

Do you have other ways to focus instead of fear? Please share them with me and others so we can help each other stay positive and focus on the good.
