[Refocus] Let's talk about Resting and Refocusing

Published about 3 years ago • 3 min read

Happy Monday Reader,

Last week I had the opportunity to share a blog on Dr. Saundra Dalton's I Choose My Best Life website. If you don't know Dr. Saundra, I highly recommend you get to know her resources. She is the author of the book Sacred Rest and the creator of The Rest Quiz that helps you identify your specific rest deficits.

In the blog I shared, I discussed how we can refocus when we become unfocused. I wanted to share an excerpt from the blog and give the opportunity for my community to also check out the full read in case you missed it. See below:

Have you ever found yourself completely unfocused, with a list of things to do that require the very thing that is missing — Focus! It’s funny how that works. Tasks don’t seem to disappear just because we lose our ability to focus on getting them done. They just pile up and wait for us to get to them.

Over the last month and a half, I feel like my focus has been completely off. This sudden inability to turn on my tunnel vision, caught me by surprise as it came unannounced and at the most inconvenient time. I was in the process of planning another virtual summit, the third event I’d planned within the last six months (that overload may have had a little something to do with the lack of focus). I was also working on a book proposal and running my business. Not to mention the daily responsibilities of being a wife and mother. After so many days of a continuous mental overload, I found myself grasping for ways to find the focus I had somehow lost.

My plate was full. So why was it that my full plate of all good things, was causing me to sacrifice something necessary to accomplish them? Read More

One more IMPORTANT Reminder!

For those of you interested in joining the 12-Week Your Next Level Writer's Connection hybrid, this is the Last Week to enroll (after this session it closes for the rest of the year). If you have found yourself ready to get your written message out on larger platforms and your tired of being told what to do but not being given practical ways and opportunities, this is the place for you. In the past session, writers were presented with support to help them gain access to platforms such as Youversion, Podcasts, and TCT Television with several resources to help them prepare to pitch and share their content.

I love sharing testimonials so that you can read the impact it is having on real live people who have a passion for writing just like you. Here are just a few:

"There is so much information and I write lots of notes, watch the replay videos and go over it again. But what I really love is Rachel's generosity of spirit. It’s so encouraging. She gives freely and it’s such an encouragement. She really have a way of really succinctly grasping everything we say that we think makes no sense and bringing it together, it’s a real gift. It’s been great and the books she provide with the program are great as well."

- Dianne, NLWC Student

“Rachel’s heart, energy, and focus are always center stage amidst her faith during the Next Level Writers’ Group! She openly shares her experiences and the many lessons she’s learned and is actively learning in real-time as a career writer. The NLWC hybrid gives you the best of both worlds with an abundance of content shared in the group sessions and a community of like-minded, faith-filled people. To top it off, she adds in 1-on-1 mentoring to help you strategically plan your writing career path. She won’t let you come down until you are fueled and have a focused plan on what your next looks like.

Rachel gives you everything God’s given her and her generosity and spirit reflects a cup that runneth over so trust that you’ll be blessed by the overflow.”

-LaDawn, NLWC Student

Reader, if you are ready to go to Your Next Level as a writer, this faith-based writing community is for you. Join me starting May 6. Payment plan is available. It's your time.

Blessings,

Rachel Scott

P.s. The Writers community is a lifetime membership. That means once you are part of it, you have access to all the future meetings for the life of the program. The only thing not included after your scheduled time are the 1-on-1 sessions. That said, this is the best rate for the program and it will increase. I only accept 12 new students per session because I am truly dedicated to seeing you go to the next level and if Jesus could only disciple 12 I certainly can't do more than that. I hope you will be one.

p.s.s. If you are feeling yourself hesitate or see yourself keep putting this off, let's talk and see if this makes sense for you to move forward. Shoot me a quick email reply!

Happy Monday We can't talk about walking in your assignment without addressing the issue of finances.

Happy Monday Reader Did you know that focus is a choice? As we continue to adapt to the changing conditions around us, we can choose if we will be distracted or focused in each moment. Here is the catch, how we choose to focus today should not be based on how we chose to focus yesterday. Yesterday and today are not in competition with each other. I love track and although running is not my cup of tea, I get to be a track mom and watch my son, Darius, as he runs the 4x100 and the 4x400 relays....

Happy Belated Mother's Day, I pray that if you are a mother you enjoyed your day. This week I want to wrap up our series on 'Why I don't use the word Busy.'
