If I could choose through the many experiences I have had in my professional life, one piece of advice to anyone, I would say that focusing on yourself is the number one activity you need to succeed in and enjoy life more.

And why do I say this? When I started my professional career as a young adult, I faced the many challenges of dealing with older and more experienced colleagues becoming the youngest member of my team. I did all that I could to get those professional achievements that could show that I was useful and committed. Yet life circumstances took me on a different path in which difficult colleagues and competition, rather than exciting new projects were the order of the day.

How things can end up so different that we can even imagine is an interesting topic in itself that I will not touch on today. However, I want to stress the idea and importance of focusing on your own goals as a way to avoid distraction, confusion, provocations, and especially bigger failures.

"Whenever I feel I am doing something wrong, I think of that lovely friend of mine, who is strong, has courage, and also kindness to do what is right. This single thought leads me to the appropriate direction in that situation".

I learned that you must master yourself first to avoid and overcome all these worldly distractions, and even the revenge that some people want to put on you. You must be sure and decide that you are going to live your best life, and this means more love, more joy, more friendships, more abundance, and happiness to start with. Very valuable goods that are not for sale in the market.

This focus on yourself and your own development and plans are what will keep you alive and focused on those targets that are bright and shiny, and even if they look far and difficult, they will get attracted to you by the magic of your wishes and thinking.

Therefore, believe me when I tell you that by listening to yourself and focusing on your goals, you will quiet the shadows of those who are totally disappointed because you don't fulfill their faulty promises. Your mindset is too big.

Below some other practical advice on how to focus on yourself:

• Indulge in your favorite activities.
• Learn a new hobby or skill.
• Confront fear of the unknown.
• Spend more time outdoors.
• Start journaling.
• Meditate.
• Practice weekly self-care.
• Practice self-compassion.

These are some of the activities that will help you change your mindset and get out of boredom and lack of personal freedom. All of which I teach during my Bucket List group trainings in company and to the individuals that approach me.

What could ever be more important than loving yourself more?
