In the depth of winter, I finally learned that there was within me an invincible summer.

Albert Camus

 What you focus on increases . Focus is a combination of thought and emotion. Whatever you think about – with a strong emotion – will increase in your experience over time. Want to increase your credit card debt? Just worry about it. The combination of thought and emotion contained in worry will increase the debt. Want to become slim, fit and healthy? Just imagine yourself being slim, fit and healthy, then feel how good you’ll feel when you’re there. Like magic, you’ll start to get slimmer. How does this work? The focus creation cycle

The Focus Creation Cycle

The focus creation cycle is a model of the way human beings bring things into their experience. It’s a process for manifesting what you desire and it goes like this

Focus  - what you focus on increases (over time). People often focus on what they don’t want rather than what they want. Guess what shows up?

Expectation – what the thinker thinks, the prover proves. Whatever you truly expect to show up in your reality (over time) is exactly what will show up. This is often referred to as ‘belief’. 

Filter – Our neurology filters out all data that doesn’t fit with what we believe. This helps us create a sense of consistency in a chaotic world. If you say “I can’t find my car keys” your neurology will delete them from your perception, even if they’re right there on the kitchen table.

Emotion – At this point we have an emotional response, a feeling. The feeling is either a nasty one (“Uuuurgh – I need to go to work & I can’t start my car”) or a nice one (“Oooooh! I knew this was going to work out brilliantly”).

Action - Emotions move us to action, and so we take actions in line with the emotions we feel and the things we believe. Of course, this means the actions we take support what we focus on. 

I used to dislike the question “Do you see the glass as half-full or half empty”, as I thought it was a tedious way of asking if a person was an optimist or a pessimist. But it turns out that it’s bigger than that. According to the way human neurology works, if you see the glass as half-empty, it gets emptier over time. If you see the glass as half-full, it gets fuller over time.

 What you focus on increases! The above process is the key to how you can bring whatever you desire into your life. The secret is to feel how you’ll feel when you’ve got what you want. We all have comfort zones, and they’re mediated by our feelings. Humans tend not to go very far outside their comfort zones if they can avoid it, but you can extend your comfort zone, by feeling how you’ll feel when you’ve got what you want. This way you become comfortable with the life you desire. Nature abhors a vacuum, so here comes the good stuff!
