What You Focus on Expands
By: Hazel Palache | Leave a comment

Because of many conversations I’ve had recently, it has become obvious to me, that both professionally and personally, there are still many people who don’t get the “What you focus on expands,†theory.
As I’ve said many times before, attracting what you want in life is about your energy and the energy in the universe around you. It doesn’t just depend on your thinking, your words, the focus you have or the action you take. It depends on everything working in alignment, especially your mind.What you focus on does expand. If you are constantly talking about debt that’s where you will stay. That doesn’t mean you shouldn’t be aware of your finances, it means have a plan to get it cleared up, take the action and then let it go. Make different choices and start preparing on bringing abundance into your life.
While I’m talking about it abundance isn’t just about money, it’s about being grateful for all the wonderful simple things in life.
If you are afraid or doubtful, stop focusing on the fear and doubt. It is necessary to acknowledge it because that keeps you real. Then tell the fear it has no power over you and then move forward into action. Remember, that fear is just “false evidence appearing real.†You have a choice. I encourage you to choose Power, purpose and passion.
If you have an illness of any description, stop focusing on feeling awful, getting tired or anything else. I have fibromialgia and 3 herniated cervical discs that can play havoc if I allow it. I choose not to. I take the necessary action, I don’t do the woe is me and every day I use the power of positive thinking.
If you want to lose weight, stop focusing on losing weight. Look at changing the way you eat, think and exercise. Add relaxation or meditation into your day, it’s been highly researched that there’s a link between stress and weight gain. Focus only on getting healthy and that’s what will happen. Be happy with who you are.
These are just a few examples. There’s an exercise I often give to clients called My Perfect Day. Write about how your perfect day would look if you could have it any way you want. Remember to write about what you ‘do want’ and not what you don’t want. Post it somewhere you can see it and live each day the way you would ideally like to live.
‘Til next time, have a wonderful week.

That sounds like a great activity. In fact, I think it’s important for people of all ages to understand this theory. Of course, it’s not just about re-directing your mind but your actions as well. With just positive thinking, we can only go so far.

Hi Jay,
Thanks for the comment. I totally agree. We can’t just think it, we have to be willing to do it too. Thought without action doesn’t usually work neither does action without positive thinking get us the result we want. My belief is that if we:
Think it + believe it + focus + action = Results
Wishing you happy holidays and a fantastic 2008
Warm wishes
