Empower Newsletter – November 2014
Welcome to the November 2014 edition of the Empower Newsletter. This month the focus is on being able to move forward quicker and easier.
Do you know?
‘where you are looking?’
It was whilst I was riding my bike on a bumpy dirt road that I realised I was seeing the pot holes, rocks and other hazards I wanted to avoid but then automatically changing my glance to look where I wanted to go. This got me thinking that we do this in life to get where we want to go without even thinking about it.
If I stayed focused on the pot holes, etc. that’s where I would have ended up!
In my motor bike pre-learner course, I remember it was one of the tips given. The instructor said ‘your handlebars will follow where you are looking, so look where you want to go not where you don’t want to go.’ It’s the same in relation to driving. If you are going to crash, don’t look at the tree look back at the road. Even in my Yoga class today whilst we were attempting to balance on one leg in one of those unnatural positions, the instructor said ‘don’t look down because that is where you will end up, look up where you want to be’. By moving my glance from the floor I was able to balance a lot easier, at least for a while anyway!
This lead me to think about how many situations in our lives where we only see and look at what we don’t want and how many areas of our lives could be improved by focusing on what we do want and where we want to be!
If there is an area in your life where you are not getting the results you want it could be because you are focusing on what you don’t want rather than what you do want. For example, if you don’t want a partner with a certain habit you may be seeing that habit in everyone. After all, what you focus on is what you get! If we change our behaviour and actually look for the qualities we do want in a partner, that would then become our focus and we will automatically move in that direction. By knowing what you do want not only gives you awareness but also creates the intention.
It will work in every area of your life. For example, if you want to be treated a certain way then start looking for and focusing on that behaviour. If you want to be happy, start looking at being happy. This way your focus will be on finding environments, things and people that will make you happy.
Knowing what you don’t want is great but unless you know what you do want, how do you and your unconscious know what you are truly looking for or even when you find it? If we are so focused on not getting what we don’t want then that is all that we will see!
So to move forward quicker and easier look where you want to go by seeing what you don’t want but looking at what you do want!

Something to Ponder
Always look where you want to go because if you don’t look where you want to go you will go where you are looking at.
