Focus is Essential

As I was reviewing some of the materials in the program, Winning the Game of Money, the thing that stood out to me today was John Assaraf saying, "Do less to completion."  In life, we tend to want to tackle too many bad habits at a time.  You really can focus on no more than 3 goals at once.  However, if you focus in on changing one habit at a time, it only takes about 60 days.  You can therefore change six habits per year.  That is a powerful message.  Focus in intently on what you want to change.

I'm reflecting on the changes that I have made in the last week.  I would like all the changes that I made to last, but I can feel my focus on some of them slipping already.  I intended to read my affirmations 3 times a day and I'm only hitting once or twice a day and it has only been 5 days.  My diet was the easiest change to make.  I'm eating vegetables for breakfast, lunch and dinner, but I had accomplished that in the past.  It was easy to create a plan of action and make it a routine.  I just had to find foods that fit the diet that I could make quickly.

Planning is probably one of my weakest areas.  I'm always wanting to be flexible and sometimes feel that not planning will open up my options, when I think it ends up doing the opposite.  Planning sets you up for sWinning the Game of Money program.  It tells you exactly what the next baby step is to creating the habits that lead you to success.
uccess.  Taking a step towards your goal consistently every day will inevitably lead you to your goal.  That is one reason I love the 90 day

This week, I'm going to focus in on planning every single day and reviewing my day to identify what I could be doing better.  Checklists aren't my forte, but this week I am going to focus in on writing down the most important things that I need to do to accomplish my goals.

Today, I'm ending my blog post with my gratitude section.  Gratitude helps you raise your self-esteem and self-worth.  Having a high self-worth is essential to earning more money, so this gratitude exercise is important for me to make a habit.  Here are today's things I'm grateful for:

1. Grateful to be learning the secrets to success
2. Grateful for the autoimmune paleo diet that I'm implementing
3. Grateful for the numerous fitness and recreational classes available to me in the DC area
