What are we seeing, where is our focus?

Let’s talk about focus. It can be the same as looking through your camera lens and focusing on what item in the foreground do you want to capture. Oftentimes when we go to take a picture, the camera refocuses and gives us something completely different.

Likewise, the same can happen with our inner eyes when looking at our own personal, family or business lives. And you might be wondering well how that can happen, and it all comes back to focus and the lens.

What is the person in the body thinking about consciously (or more likely unconsciously) when viewing the idea, the situation, or the experience? Likewise, what is the belief the person holds in relationship to it? What does creating from that focus cultivate:

• If our focus is on worry or fear, guess what we will get more lessons or experiences that bring us that emotion.

• If our focus is on how to feel more joy, more love, more compassion as we are creating that new item, service or relationship, then we will get more experiences that cultivate those emotions.

• If our focus is on growing and getting healthier, we often will get experiences that put us into a space in all the ways we need to improve to be healthier, meaning it can be in the way we see a situation, understand or feel about it or even how we think or experience it that needs a healthy boost up.

When we haven’t understood nor embodied these bigger picture lessons for living life from a higher awareness, we can unknowingly create situations we do not want – and we can become stuck unless we begin moving that needle by choosing new experiences, new trails, and different ways of communication or the way we perceive. When we are so focused on one way of looking at things, the other views become hidden.

When I created Dream Pet Care, it was about my connection and the joy of being with the animals which took me from idea to inception in under six months. My secondary focus was on getting healthier of body, mind, emotions and spirit – and with it a better relationship with myself and with others. This was the deep level why.

One of the key lenses for improvement or an area that needed healing was that in order to expand and bring in more clients, I had to be giving from a full cup and when I wasn’t the number of clients, assignments or visits declined. What does it mean to be giving your services from a not-so-full cup? It means that you are in essence giving everything that is you away and not keeping any for yourself.

This can happen when the focus is aligned with the pets being happy - and the person themselves isn’t a part of the equation.

To improve and have this area be healthier, a deeper dive into who I am personally along with the type of pet care professional I am and the services I offer along with my rates have to be in alignment. That means when you know you are someone who connects deeply with the animal beings, often feels their communication that is sent via emotions, sensations, or just knowing, when you know Reiki or music therapies could assist or be beneficial, I am going to do that in the moment because that is who I am. The key is that my rates must reflect this added value in order for the business to expand.

When we are not including ourselves as the founder, creator or person working the process, it can create chaos lessons that jar our nervous system or our brain out of its stuck position. It’s when you start doing new things, going to different places, and doing the existing in new ways that a door opens to shine more light in so you can see what you haven’t before.

Now remember the whole focus and lens experience from the beginning – well so in the above situation it allowed for everyone (human and animal) that received from the person in the business to thrive and expand whereas it made it harder for the person and they were barely surviving as they were giving from a nearly empty vessel.

That lesson in focus is a real learning curve! The key when done well is that we all grow, expand and thrive.

Now it’s about rebuilding a stronger, more resilient and loving structure that fills up my cup too and gives from that space versus giving my life’s energy solely outward. So yes, there are changes being made on the existing structure and for the new coming in from an aligned space.

Suffice it to say it's been a powerful, heart-opening, and eye-opening experience these past few weeks.

I am grateful to all of you that have supported me in various ways throughout the years from being clients to reading my books to following the lives and times of my business, learning about animal communication with the pet friends, my life and the lessons that show up here and elsewhere.

Stay tuned as I walk through the next chapters of the regeneration process for myself and the business supporting the rising of the inner Phoenix.
