Our Focus Determines Our Feelings

Our Focus of Attention Determines Our Feelings

When we focus our time and attention on things we find bad, we feel sad, angry or anxious.

Focusing on good things makes us feel good, excited, energized and enthusiastic.

This is the First Law of Happiness: Our Focus Determines Our Feelings  - It's a very powerful and important tool for creating happiness and spiritual success.

When you want to feel good, focus your time, energy and attention on positive objectives, thoughts and actions. Doing good helps you to feel good.

There's a big difference between worrying about problems and working to solve or resolve them.

Moving from problems to potential positive solutions quickly limits stress and distress.

Continually try to do your best, feel your best and be at your best all of the time. The key is YOUR best and not someone else's best. You will feel good and your best will continue to get even better.

Repositioning our perspectives and seeing situations from a new point of view often changes our feelings dramatically. 

Alter your focus of attention to create happiness when you need it and to limit stress, distress and despair. 

Resolve To Focus Your Time and Attention on Positive Thoughts, Actions and Objectives that further your Goals and Aspirations

It's the Best Way to Create Happiness and Spiritual Success.

O"ur Focus of Attention Determines Our Feelings" - I do live with this axiom. I use about three ways to focus on the positive. First one is making notes in my Gratitude journal where I jotting down a short list of things which I'm grateful for(e.g. a really good cup of coffee that morning or hearing my husband says “I love you.”). The second one is writing down writing down the things which I’ve achieved each month. And the last one - I say magical words "thank you".

It really helps me to stay positive!

Focussing on positive aspects of life, however, doesn't necessarily imply ignoring anything that might feel negative, right? That would seem dangerous under certain circumstances. If, for instance, you suffer from headaches, but instead of facing your pain (a negative thing), you focus on all that is going well for you. That could pose a serious threat to your health.

Maybe we have to, while focussing on the good, also deal with the bad, and face the ugly on time, in order to ensure our happiness to be maintainable in the long run?
