I never knew I could do this with my attention. Wish someone had told me earlier!
For a long time, most of my attention was focused externally on getting somewhere in the world - work, money, family, friends, etc. On the outside I looked successful by society’s standards. Inside I was playing a losing battle… I just didn’t know it then.
Trying to do too much, too soon.
You’ve probably heard this story before.
But maybe you haven’t heard this next part
The last few years, I practiced a lot of meditation and pranayama breath work. I learned to bring the focus of my attention inward to my inner sense of being. To presence.
Where before I would have felt busy, stressed, striving, competing, anxious to win… now… it feels different.
Calm. Accepting. Fearless. Effortless.
As expansive as space.
Now it feels like a zoom lens. I can extend the focus of my attention externally on the world’s activities… or I can dial it in and focus inward, tapping into that peace and calm at the centre.
And the more time I spend with my attention on being, the deeper the satisfaction that all is well and unfolding as it will.
So this is my attempt to share something important that I wish I knew before.
I hope it helps you, wherever you are in life.
If you want the resources I use for meditation or breathwork, let me know and I’ll send them to you to try.
And I’m always happy to hop on a call if you want a buddy to practice with.
With love ❤️
You got this 🙌🏼
