Is It Serving You or Keeping You Stuck?
In our fast-paced lives, we often overlook a fundamental truth: what we focus on expands. Our thoughts shape our reality, influencing our experiences, emotions, and the outcomes we manifest. The question is—are your thoughts and habits serving you, or are they keeping you stuck? The choice is yours.
A Shift in Perspective
Recently, I had the privilege of spending seven transformative days at a beautiful retreat with my mentor and fellow coaches. It was a time of deep reflection, personal growth, and nurturing my body, soul, and mind. My ocean-view room became my sanctuary, providing peaceful, restorative sleep every night—until one evening, when a simple choice led to a profound realization.
This experience taught me that every moment presents us with a choice, and the power of that choice can change the trajectory of our lives.
Throughout most of my stay, I slept on the same side of the bed and experienced deep, uninterrupted rest. But one night, curiosity whispered, Why not switch it up? Why not sleep on the other side of the bed? So I did.
The result? A vivid, unsettling nightmare that jolted me awake at 3 a.m.—a rare occurrence for me. I sat in the darkness, puzzled and reflective. My usual sense of peace had been disrupted, and the dream clung to my thoughts like fog.
Then, in the quiet stillness, an “aha” moment surfaced: I had the power to change my experience.
Rather than overanalyzing the nightmare or assigning it deeper meaning, I simply made a new choice—I moved back to my original side of the bed, where I had previously felt calm and grounded.
The result? I slept soundly for the rest of the night and woke up at 6 a.m. feeling rested, centered, and empowered—all because I reclaimed control over my environment and energy.
A Metaphor for Life
This small moment became a powerful metaphor.
We often find ourselves stuck in discomfort, fear, or frustration—asking, Why is this happening to me? But maybe the better question is:
“What can I do right now to change my situation?”
If I had stayed on the “nightmare side” of the bed, I likely would have continued feeling unsettled and disempowered. Instead, I made a conscious shift. That one simple decision reminded me that our mindset creates our outcomes.
The universe is abundant. It’s constantly offering opportunities for peace, success, love, and growth. But if we focus on fear, lack, or self-doubt, we inadvertently amplify those experiences. When we learn to:
- Quiet the inner critic
- Reframe disempowering thoughts
- And take aligned, intentional action…
…we gain the ability to shift any circumstance in our favor.
What We Focus On Expands
Before anything becomes a reality in our lives, it begins as a thought.
A simple shift in focus—a new belief, a change in environment, or even a switch in how we sleep—can transform the trajectory of our day… or our life.
So I invite you to reflect:
- What are you focusing on today?
- Is it serving you—or keeping you stuck?
- What simple shift can you make right now to reclaim your power?
You hold the key. The choice is always yours.
