Focus Hits the Bulls Eye

“When the bull’s eye becomes as big in your mind as an elephant, you are sure to hit it.”–Alejandro Jodorowsky
Through the years I have been fascinated by the Laws of Intention and Attraction, and the more I read and studied these universal laws the more I was able to manifest my desires. I’ve also come to learn that these universal laws are grounded in belief, expectation, motivation, and focus.

Yet when the “beast” of depression and anxiety bring me to my knees and hold me hostage, the grounding of these universal laws evaporate into thin air as I barely hang onto life itself.  What occurs from the turmoil in my emotional state of my mind is the attraction and manifestation of isolation and hopelessness–the direct opposite state of mind I long for in recovery.

However, as the adjusted medication and treatments begin to provide the “light of hope,” the bull’s eye of my mind is once again focused on recovery.  I believe recovery is possible, I expect to recover, and I am motivated to do what I need to do.  My intention once again attracts wellness.

At times mental health disorders can be caught in the vicious cycle of recurring episodes, but I’ve learned through my four bouts to keep focusing on my intention—sustained recovery.  I’ve also come to recognize that sustained recovery takes an enormous effort on my part, which includes a combination of sleep, exercise, and nutrition as well as medication and therapy.  You, too, can manifest recovery with the right intention.  Give it a try!
Reflection Question: What will it take for you to tap into the universal Laws of Intention and Attraction?
