Focus On The Doing
October 30, 2023
When we get too caught up in our goals and keep getting overwhelmed by the magnitude and distance to cover, we end up being less effective. The anxiety of not achieving what we want actually kills our creativity. You start rushing through things just to see if they’re working, chasing some sort of instant gratification. Paradoxically, too much goal focus often leads to mediocre results.
What really helps is focusing on the present, on what we’re doing right now. That’s when we can truly let our skills shine.
The best thing you can do for yourself is to enjoy the work as you are doing it, being in the moment. It’s not just satisfying; it’s fulfilling. Most importantly, it keeps your focus away from worrying about the outcomes that may or may not happen. Focus on the doing and go with the flow.
