Ever feel like life is harder than it should be? Like you’re constantly battling stress, overthinking, and emotions that seem to drain your energy?

What if I told you there’s one simple shift that can make everything feel lighter?

The Secret to a Lighter Life: Attention

Think of your attention like a spotlight. Whatever you shine it on grows bigger and takes up more space in your mind. When you focus too much on the negatives — stress, fears, setbacks — they start to feel overwhelming.

But what if you were more intentional about where you direct your attention?

I firmly believe that if we stop feeding our negative thoughts with too much energy, we naturally create space for more ease and happiness. This doesn’t mean pretending problems don’t exist. It means acknowledging them, processing them, and then letting them pass — without holding on too tightly.

How to Put This Into Practice
