CHAPTER 1- WHAT IS MENTAL FOCUS AND WHY IS IT IMPORTANT?

Having mental focus is important at every level of your life. Being focused has a direct impact on your life and the way that you live. Not having proper mental focus can make it tough to reach any personal or professional goals that you may have.

What exactly is mental focus? Having proper mental focus means that you always have a purpose, or goal, in mind. Becoming focused is more than just having a goal in mind that you would like to accomplish. Having true mental focus in your life will help you to have balance in all parts of your life. When you have good mental focus you will find yourself accomplishing your goals and making progress much more quickly than ever before. The result will be more happiness and fulfillment in your life.

The answer to why mental focus is important is not very complicated, however there are levels different levels to complete mental focus that all work together to help you to become a focused individual.

The Big Picture

Having a main focus in your life is very important if you want to be truly mentally focused. A main focus, or purpose, will give you guidance and meaning to all of your actions and behavior. If things get hard or tough along the way, keeping your life’s purpose in mind will help you to stay motivated and on the correct path.

If you do not have a main focus in your life right now, it is okay. Oftentimes, it will take many years for your focus to become clear. If you are just beginning to understand the importance of mental focus, all you need is an idea. What are you passionate about? What do you believe in? What kind of person do you want to be? These are questions that you should ask yourself and find the answer to because these answers will be where your mental focus will begin.

The fun thing about this journey is that you do not have to necessarily focus on just one thing. Many people have more than one interest in their life and it can keep things interesting to have focus on multiple things. The important thing to remember about having more than one focus is that you want to make sure that your respective focuses are not polar opposites. Put another way: it will be easier and more enjoyable to stay mentally focused if your interests are in harmony with each other. Whatever actions you take should potentially be able to work for the betterment of both goals.

Sharpening Your Focus

After you realize the importance to having a life purpose and how it relates to progressive mental focus, you can begin to sharpen your focus to more short-term goals. Accomplishing short-term goals is what will give you the fuel to keep going when times get tough. Going through tough times will happen but instead of getting discouraged, you can use this time to re-focus and strengthen your goals. Accomplishing short-term goals will also provide positive affirmation that you are on the right path. It is important to keep your focus in all things that you do. No actions should be done “just because” because that would mean that you have lost your focus. Actions done without a goal in mind can actually be detrimental your big goal.
