Train your focus

Have you ever sat in front of your computer, read the same sentence three times, and still couldn't focus?

It doesn't necessarily mean you've lost your ability to concentrate. More often, it means your brain needs a little help getting back into a rhythm.

In today's video, I share a simple technique you can use to rebuild your focus and get more out of your workday.

Question: What's the biggest thing that steals your attention during the workday?

Also, if you're going through a tough time right now, I want you to know that I post daily mental health videos about how to deal with painful thoughts. So if you or anyone you know is struggling and wants help, click on one of the links below or write me if you have any questions you want me to answer:

Your brain hasn't forgotten how to work. It's simply switching gears.

I view my cancer…..

This is a really tough post for me. I was diagnosed with non small cell lung cancer in April of 2025. What makes this difficult is that right now my cancer is treatable and I’m choosing not to go forward with it. I’m only involved with palliative care for pain management. I know there’s a whole world of people going through treatments and hoping beyond hope to get into remission. And those unfortunate where the treatments have failed. I sincerely wish the best for all of you fighting.

I haven’t found a compassionate ear or understanding of my choice. And I’m feeling completely alone with all the aspects.

I’ll try to explain where I’m coming from.

I never had quality of life. Since I was a child I suffered severe trauma, major depression (which after years it was found I was treatment resistant). Anxiety is a given. I also have chronic pain and migraines. Aside from all this I always tried to be as functional as possible. I’m smart, I love using my mind and learning new things. I’m not exceptional, but I play piano really well and capable of drawing and painting. I love being physically active. The activity helped me ground myself and diffuse pent up emotions. I absolutely love helping people when I can and it helped me as much as the other person. Throughout my life I had short periods of functionality. This is how I learned my capability. After trying over and over tweaking some things for a better outcome …..I had to give up my stubbornness and accept the pain I was in physically and mentally in. My problem is that I can’t accept or tolerate living day to day not being my true self. It’s torture for me.

In a twisted way, my cancer is a blessing in disguise. But I’m terrified! With my PTSD I can’t handle being touched when it comes time when all my needs will have to be taken care by someone. And yes, this issue isn’t enough to make me fight my cancer. It will be my one last struggle.

Does anyone understand me a little? Can anyone see where I’m coming from? I’m all alone here and lost.

Thankful Thursday AND Fun Friday

Sometimes, believing two things can be true at the same time is difficult. But this thought was really encouraging and challenges Black and White thinking.
I hope it's helpful to you today.

Also, tell us three things in the comments 👇 that you're thankful for!

You don't have to be perfect all the time. It's ok to be exactly as you are.

We put so much pressure on ourselves to always be positive that we start believing there’s something wrong with us the moment we feel sad, anxious, frustrated, or overwhelmed. But emotions aren’t signs that you’re failing. They’re signs that you’re human.

One of the biggest turning points in my own recovery was realizing that healing didn’t begin when I finally felt happy. It began when I stopped fighting every uncomfortable emotion and started listening to what those feelings were trying to tell me. Pain isn’t always something to get rid of as quickly as possible. Sometimes it’s a signal that something in our lives needs attention, compassion, or change.

You don’t have to pretend you’re okay to be making progress. You don’t have to smile through the hardest days to prove you’re strong. Real healing comes from being honest with yourself, treating yourself with kindness, and trusting that no emotion lasts forever.

What emotion have you been giving yourself permission to feel lately?
