Are you forward-facing focused?







Or is your focus in some other direction?







Focus is defined as “a state of mind that produces a clear visual definition of what you desire in your life moving forward.”







Forward-facing focus in a person’s life refers to a mindset and practice for listening to your intuition, adapting to change, being innovative and maintaining personal growth over time on the best time-lines available to you.







Forward-facing focus gives you the ability to anticipate and prepare for future needs and directly contributes to success as you define it in your own life.







While forward-facing focus is inherently future-oriented, it also involves a level of mindfulness about the present moment.







Mindfulness about the present moment means actively engaging with current tasks and responsibilities in your life while consistently working on future goals and objectives.







How can you put forward-facing focus into practice in your own life?















With forward-facing focus, you can create a positive impact in your own life and better position yourself to lead a more fulfilling life.

A nexus point is defined as “a point on your personal timeline that is a critical moment in your life where a specific event, unique set of circumstances or a person has a significantly and profound impact on your life moving forward based on the choices you may make.”







A nexus point is so pivotal on your personal timeline, an energy line, that it becomes an entry point for a large number of possible choices and possible outcomes in your life. 







A nexus point is defined as “a point on your personal timeline that is a critical moment in your life where a specific event, unique set of circumstances or a person has a significantly and profound impact on your life moving forward based on the choices you may make.”







Examples of personal nexus points include meeting your significant other, a marriage, a birth, moving to a new city, graduating from college, starting a new career, being promoted to a new position, etc.







Scientific researchers consider nexus points as points that cause a branch in the timeline of a person leading to the creation of multiple different possible timelines from that point.







How you do make the best choices when a nexus point occurs in your life?















Making the best choices when a nexus point occurs in your life creates a positive impact in your life.

EPISODE 182







Psychological “glimmers” are small, fleeting, micro-moments of positivity and positive experiences that can significantly impact your emotional well-being.







Glimmers, as introduced by social worker Deb Dana, are specific examples of micro-moments that elicit feelings of happiness, hope, and safety.







Glimmers foster a sense of calm, connection, empathy, happiness and joy and effectively counter daily fear and stress in your own life.







Why are glimmers so important?







According to other psychologists, you actually have an inherent bias towards negativity in your own life.  That is, you have propensity to learn from and use negative emotions, negative experiences and negative information far more than positive emotions, positive experiences and positive information in your own life.







Glimmers help you overcome the negative bias and bring a sense of connection and regulation to your nervous system to move you into a new emotional state which allows you to temporarily feel calm and content.







How you do generate glimmers in your own life?















Experiencing, acknowledging and embracing glimmers creates a positive impact in your own life.

EPISODE 179







Let me tell you another true story.







A few years ago, I was invited by a friend of mine to play a round of golf at a country club golf course in the suburbs of Chicago.







We were to play with my friend’s brother and his boss, both doctors in private practice.







I arrived at the country club with a nice shirt that did not have a collar.  My friend was dressed the same way.







This country club has its own rules and etiquette for playing golf.







When we arrived at the first tee, the starter indicated that the rules of the country club were very clear and no one could play golf in a shirt that did not have a collar.







Since my friend and I both lived 45 minutes from the course, there was no way we could drive home to change.







We were told our only alternative was to buy a shirt from the pro shop if we wanted to play.







Every shirt in the pro shop was priced at least $90, making the required purchase a very expensive one.







My friend and I decided to both purchase shirts with size 3XL (3 extra large).







Let me say, we both looked ridiculous.  The shirt can down past my knees and I could have fit three of me inside the shirt.







As funny as it turned out, this is one unexpected situation for which I was not prepared.







How do you prepare for unexpected situations and events in your own life?







Always remember to PACK before you do anything.















Always remembering to PACK before you do anything can help make a positive impact in your own life.
