At the Learning Annex Wealth Expo, Tony Robbins also talked about what you focus on is what you will always find, and grow more of. As an exercise, he had has look around the room for the color brown. I gathered everything brown my eyes could lock on to. Then when we were done scanning for brown, he asked us how many RED things we saw. Of course, you didn't see much red because you were only focused on brown. The talk on focus made me see that in this blog Back in Skinny Jeans, my writing of late has been focused primarily on me complaining on what is wrong with myself, and wrong with other people. I'm not beating myself up here, just making a realization about my work.
I've been pointing out how the media makes us feel like crap. How supermodels and celebs are fake and make bad role models. And, how I feel so insignificant because I need another bra for my back boobs. The traffic to this blog has been fluxing of late, and I believe it is because my writing has been focused more towards negativity, rather than on solutions to the problems. That's what my gut tells me at least. It's real easy to bitch about life and other people, but I didn't start this blog to do that. I've strayed from original focus. I wanted to blog to add value to help other women. How can I help other women and myself feel better and good about ourselves given all the outside pressure to be thin and beautiful? I wanted to share my story not to put attention on myself, but to say, "Hey, you're not alone. I'm another human who has been where you've been. It frickin sucks, but everything can get better. Everything does get better if you hang in there and ask for help."
I even got deep into whether the title of this blog "Back in Skinny Jeans" reflects what I truly want to add. In the beginning it did, but now, I'm not sure. It's not good or bad. It's just a sense of wonderment. Am I being consistent and true to my intent? I'm open to anyone's opinion and observations. I'm asking for some insight. Thank you ;-)
