Focus Is a Sacred Decision: 5 Mindfulness Practices to Anchor Your Soul

There’s a truth that lives deep in your Soul: You do have control over you — from the inside out.

Isn’t this a powerful reminder for those who love to live consciously?

You hold the key to change, right now.


And yet, how often do we try to control the outer world instead? We spend precious energy attempting to manage circumstances and other people, which only pulls us out of balance.

We obsess over outcomes. Chase perfection. Micromanage the unknown. I offer a different approach: focus on what you can control — the thoughts you’re thinking, the breath you’re breathing, the life you are leading.

As Virtues of Divinity teaches:

“The direction of your focus is the direction of your life. Move toward what is good, valuable, strong, and true.”

Life is vibrant and divinely guided — and not fully under our control. It is ours to experience, ours to direct through focus and follow-through. Life will inevitably life itself. Some days bring calm, others bring challenge. Don’t lose your focus; adjust and keep flowing.

You will come to understand life as a winding path of discovery. A sacred unfolding. And you only get one. So live the life you love. Love the life you live.


Your words shape your reality — speak with focus, intention, and love.

5 Mindfulness Practices to Anchor Your Soul


1. Begin with Breath

Each morning, take three or four deep, intentional breaths before starting your day.

  • As you inhale, think of the quality you want to bring into your day (Focus, Peace, Joy, etc.).

  • As you exhale, let go of distraction, tension, or anything unhelpful.

  • This quick pause helps you feel centered and ready before life begins to pull your attention elsewhere.


2. Choose Your One Thing

Select one meaningful priority for the day and give it your full attention.

“Without focus there is no completion or attainment of a dream or goal.”

3. Pause Before Reacting

When challenges arise, pause for three seconds before speaking or acting. This space allows your response to come from presence rather than impulse.


4. Gratitude on the Move

While walking, driving, or moving through your day, silently name three things you’re grateful for. This shifts your attention to what is working, rather than what’s lacking.


5. End with Reflection

Before bed, ask yourself: Where was my focus today? Did it align with what matters most? If not, decide now where you’ll place it tomorrow.


Let love begin with your focus. If you’re unsure where to start, start with love and move from there. When your attention is infused with love, distractions lose their power, and your path forward becomes clear.
