Regaining Focus in 2016
It seems like 2015 came and went in a flash. However, if I think back on the year I do remember the hours of shoveling snow last winter, a spring that seemed like it would never arrive, a summer that went far too quickly, and a fall that lasted right through Christmas. The very long fall with its warmer weather was a blessing for sure.
Although there were many things that we did with family and friends, and projects that were completed, it all seemed to be a bit chaotic. In the midst of it all my ability to focus was significantly hindered. Not sure if it was because it was an unusually busy year, or if my sun, moon and stars were out of alignment creating a chaotic environment. Whatever the reason, I am happy to feel my focus returning.
2016 is beginning with a much calmer energy level and perhaps that is a good thing. There is still a very long "To Do" list, but I am approaching it with an adjusted attitude. As we have told my children in the past - you can eat an elephant one bite at a time. In other words, I am trying to take one project to completion instead of doing five things at once. It is too easy to become scattered if you don't concentrate on the task at hand.
My goals are still lofty, and I believe I will accomplish many of them. But I will be a lot easier on myself if it takes a bit longer than I would like. After all, there are only so many hours in a day, week, month and year. Best to do a few things well than many things haphazardly.
I am optimistic and hopeful that 2016 will be a good year in many ways. If we get back on track from the detour that 2015 took us on and get our sun, moon and stars aligned again, then we can focus on doing positive things.
I wish you all a very happy and productive 2016. Go out and conquer your world!
