Bring your focus back to the present
from Stillness Is the Key by Ryan Holiday
How to Apply This
-
Experience the events in your life
Instead of taking a photo of the sunset, stare at its beauty. Instead of worrying about what will come next, do your best right now. -
Meditate
This will force you to slow down and watch your emotions rise. You don’t have to consider anything else, just focus on inhaling and exhaling. -
Focus on the process
For example, if you’re playing in a tournament, focus on the present match, not the future result. If you’re at a job interview, focus on what you say, not the outcome. If you’re giving a public speech, focus on your performance, not the crowd's reaction.
