Creating more mental wellbeing is simple – become good at deliberate focus.

What is deliberate focus? That’s simple too – it’s choosing what you think about. And that’s not simple because your brain wants to focus for you, and since the brain has a negativity bias, it often chooses negative things to focus on.

With that in mind, how can you learn to deliberately focus? A good way for you to think about your brain is as a tool that helps your body work instead of as you, yourself. When you can think of your brain as simply a way to get things done, it’s easier to choose what you will allow your brain to focus on and think about.

When you find yourself focusing on negative events, thoughts or feelings, step back and observe how that focus makes you feel. Is it how you want to feel? Probably not, so deliberately decide to focus on something that will help you feel better.

I have a picture hanging above my desk that reminds me of a dear friend, and thoughts of her always make me smile. Surround yourself with things that trigger good memories and make it easier for you to shift your focus.
