Thoughts wander
There’s no limit to what you can achieve with enough focus. But as powerful as focus can be, it’s best when practiced in moderation.
Balance periods of intense focus with other times when you allow your mind to wander. Avoid being trapped by your own single-mindedness.
Spend some open-ended, unstructured time with no agenda. Gaze at the stars, watch the snow fall and accumulate on tree branches, feel your own breathing, sit by a fire.
Listen as your thoughts articulate what you’ve been needing to tell yourself. Allow your perspective to be reset by the reality of the moment you’re in.
You’ve fixed your attention and energy on certain goals and achieved those goals. Now give all that focused activity some time to sink in, give yourself the opportunity to process it and to reconnect with purpose.
Let your thoughts wander, and take note of where they go. Then when you get back to being focused, your focus will have even more purpose, authenticity, and positive power.
— Ralph Marston
