WHERE TO PUT YOUR ATTENTION

We have a choice, focus on something that is good and positive or focus on the opposite. There are two scenarios. There's victim mode where we start to picture the worst case scenario. A little twinge in our body can make us feel like we're going to end up with a deadly disease, or it can be construed differently. When a little nudge tells you that something isn't right respond with self care.

Then there is the second scenario. This scenario is a visualization of the best possible future. Instead of seeing catastrophies, envision the outcomes that you want. Instead of focusing on what you are unhappy about, put your attention on something that makes you happy.

Keep your attention on self care. That includes what kinds of food you eat, what you choose to do with your time, preventing overwork, cutting back on commitments and reducing all that you do for others. Lighten your load. Get enough rest and most of all, set limits with others. The more you've been doing for others the more they will expect from you. The demands become greater and greater. Codependence doesn't allow others to learn their own lessons.

Create a vision that gives you a deep, warm feeling of contentment and happiness. Write it down, keep it simple and revise it daily. Notice how it begins to manifest in small ways.
