Shifting Your Focus: Reflection Questions for Cultivating Self-Love and Positivity

It's a well-known truth: what we focus on grows. By directing our thoughts and energy towards the positive, we can cultivate a more uplifting and empowering reality. One of the most effective ways to do this is by asking ourselves empowering questions that shift our focus and awareness to what’s going well in our lives.

The brain, by nature, is wired to fixate on the areas of life where things aren't going well. This is a survival mechanism—our mind’s primary job is to keep us safe by assessing and strategizing potential threats. It’s not concerned with our happiness, so it tends to highlight problems rather than celebrate successes.

In my own life, I’ve noticed that despite the fact that 90% of things are going exceptionally well, my mind often zeroes in on the small percentage that isn’t. It’s as if the daily miracles and blessings get brushed aside in favor of focusing on the few things that aren’t aligning with my desires.

To counteract this tendency, I’ve started asking myself simple yet powerful questions like:

-What are my recent wins?

-What’s going really well in my life right now?

These questions have a magical effect—they redirect my attention to the positive aspects of my life and make me feel like a winner. By focusing on what’s going well, I’m able to expand that sense of positivity, allowing it to permeate my entire mindset.

But why stop there? You can take this practice one step further by affirming these positive reflections. Try repeating affirmations like, "Every day I'm winning," or "Life keeps getting better and better every day." These affirmations reinforce your focus on the positive, helping you internalize the belief that life is continually improving.

So, what is going well for you? Take a moment to reflect on your recent wins and the blessings in your life. By making this a regular practice, you’ll start to notice a shift in your overall perspective—a shift towards a mindset filled with gratitude, positivity, and empowerment.

Remember, your focus shapes your reality. Keep your attention on the light, and let it guide your way.

Love y’all. Stay elevated. Stay grounded.
