Day 2 – Off Set Distractions

July 27, 2020 by Romack Leave a Comment

Welcome to Day 2 of your 5 Day FOCUS Challenge!

As you can imagine, there are many different ways to offset distractions to increase focus.  But I have one in particular that is simple and gives us power with a pause.

Are you ready?  This one may make you gasp, but hey, you are here to be a little challenged right?

Remove all but 3 of your most important apps from the home screen on your phone.

Whoa… you okay?  Did you pass out?

  • This will give you a moment to pause as you swipe.  That pause if POWERFUL because it gives you time to refocus and question yourself on the intention of heading to the app you are lookin for.
  • You’ll eventually stop looking at your phone so much!
  • This will also remove clutter!  Why remove clutter… because external clutter will clutter the mind.  A cluttered mind is a huge distraction.

So are you ready?  I know this is a big leap of faith and trust in me and yourself.

You got this!  Tomorrow I will lead you through a powerful and quick exercise to help you find clarity in any moment and task!

The Simplicity Project – Step 3

September 9, 2019 by yinster Leave a Comment

Step 3 

Consumption Kills Simplicity and Clarity


Consumption Kills Simplicity And creates attachments that hold us down and keep us from leaping forward!  Attachments are something we discuss more in my coaching program Clarity Above Chaos. For this project, please note that we have attachments to things, but most times those things are simply the mask fronting for the true attachment.  Is it a person, place, thought or emotion? 

This particular step is something you may not be ready for at this time.  If not, ask yourself why and then move on to step 4. Come back to this again when it has more value or relevance in your life! 

**** Pick a period of time. A day, a week, a month or a year. During this predetermined time, do not purchase anything you don’t NEED.  The simple awareness of not purchasing anything brings more simplicity into your life. You start to become hyper aware of other consumption patterns that can trigger stress, stagnation and complexity.****

Remember,  attachment is the result of consuming things. Let’s call this an exercise in awareness of what you actually need. I promise, we don’t need anymore attachments.  They create that reminder of what we don’t have or didn’t have before we bought it.  

I decided to go bold and do this for one year.  I’m 2 months into it and I have gotten so much out of this already.  I fell into the habit of shopping and consuming in excess.  If I were bored, I’d go buy a dress.  If I was so busy I couldn’t breathe, I buy a piece of jewelry. If I had a successful moment in my business, I’d get a manicure.  If I had a failure in my business, I’d go out to eat.  This was an ongoing pattern for years and I didn’t realize how attached to reward I was.  I was attached to distraction by shopping and my success with Modern Yinster showed this. 

Now, shopping or frivolous lunches are not an option.  I’ve gotten rid of my need for more stuff and opened a door to determination and discipline.  Now, instead of spending money, I make a lot more!

When I told my kids this they exclaimed, “yea!! because you shop a lot and we had to go with you.”  Ouch, but a good ouch.  They were noticing my unhealthy behaviors and this change benefited them because they no longer have to shop with me, but also, now they will learn that reward comes from within.  They will continue to see me flourish in my business and frankly, my new found drive and discipline is setting a passionate tone for when I am coaching my children through life.  

 If more comes along with this particular exercise, let’s chat.  This step affects everyone differently and most of my clients are surprised at the results.  

Is this something you are up to right now? Perhaps it is a step that you need to put on the back burner?  Timing is important but don’t wait for the perfect time to do this because there will never be a ‘perfect time.’  

A QUICK NOTE:

I’d love to continue to work with you on a deeper level.  If you like the idea of creating more simplicity in your life or digging deeper within your true self, let’s set up a call.  I’d love to hear more and introduce you to a program that shows you how to really study yourself to find truth beyond what you think you are capable of knowing.
