This is what I want

Hey there!

I was reminded of the importance of focusing on what you want, rather than what you don’t want.

This is a core tenant of my foresight coaching method: you get direction, clarity and momentum by moving towards something, not away from something.

But this is something I’ve been having a hard time with recently.

I keep finding myself slipping into thoughts of fear and uncertainty. I end up focusing on all of the things I don’t want to happen. When I do this, I feel overwhelmed, confused and bitter.

So I thought I would refresh myself by focusing in on the vision of what I do want. And, I thought, I would write it here in Rekindle, in hopes that it might refresh you, too.

The simple title, This is what I want, came easily.

I started seeing glimpse of the vision come to the surface of my mind.

I opened a tab and logged into my email software.

My baby started crying.

For the third time since I laid him down to sleep 75 minutes ago.

I ran upstairs, picked him up and nursed him back to sleep.

It took about 10 minutes.

I got some water and sat back down at my desk.
