Focus on the positive

Today I had a call from one of my clients who is not dealing with the isolation so well and he felt that being alone and not meeting up with people really did affect his mind and his spirit.

We went through his thoughts and worries and he realised that a lot of what he was thinking about where things that happened in the past. Bad things that happened in the past. His self-worth had taken such a big knock so eventually I had to “wake him up”!

What have been the great times in your life? Do you remember how they felt? Your first success? Your first sporting event that you absolutely smashed? Your first job your first whatever that made you feel good?

Have you ever written down all the things that actually are good or amazing about yourself? Have you ever asked people in your family or your friends (that love you and care for you) what they would answer to this? You’d be surprised with the things that people realise without you even realising. The things that people think are amazing you might think “oh but that’s no big deal” but it IS!

Start focusing today on your successes, on your times when you felt good and then focus on the future! What will you do when the lock down is over? What can you do NOW, right NOW to improve your mind your body and your spirit to move yourself forward? It definitely isn’t watching TV all day!

Focus on the positives in your life, your children your family your sport that you used to do and ok, maybe for a few weeks now can't do but either way – you are really good at it, you love the feeling of winning or achieving or just feeling good after a work out!

Focus on the positive! Focus! Because you can and because THAT is something that really will move you forward as soon as the lock down is over! Stay safe and healthy and speak soon!
