Your brilliant mind is always focusing in one direction or another. What you may not realize is that your focus is actually creative. What you pay attention to grows! If you let your fear/worry mind run the show, you will actually grow your problems without meaning to. If you decide to practice your Goodfinding skills and focus on what is good, right, and working, you are growing the good stuff.
Think of the four domains of emotional intelligence: self-awareness, self-management, social awareness, and relationship management. The first two involve an internal/vertical focus, while the second two take your focus outside yourself into the external/ horizontal realms. Most of us focus far more on other people (social and relationship focus), and not near enough on our self-awareness and self-management, which leads to many of the relationship problems
we experience. Start now to put your primary focus on your internal/vertical realms, to improve your external relationship outcomes.
