Well, hello there. It's Morgan Harper Nichols here. I'm an artist and a writer, and this is a space where I turn the lens on various topics and subjects in hopes to learn something new or see something in a new way.

Today's piece is called Four Simple Things to Hold On to If You're Losing Focus.

First Things First simple things to hold on to if you're losing focus. First things first, if you are experiencing a lack of focus, there is no shame. There is no judgment.

It's okay and it happens to everyone.

Before you focus on getting your focus back,

allow yourself the permission to remember that there are many factors as to why you could be losing focus.

Factors that don't make you weak or incapable if you can't figure it out right away.

If you can't stay focus 100% of the day.

Secondly, if you find yourself distracted off the course that you feel you're supposed to be

traveling, just remember that that awareness, even in a space of distraction and lack of focus,

is still a sign of aliveness. You're still here. You're still in this thing. Even when it feels like you have been swept away

by a heavy gush of wind, there is still room within for slow and steady growth. Remember,

you are still here and there is still a way back. Number three, because there are so many factors

as to why one might lose focus, there are many ways back into focus. Sometimes a lack of focus

represents a lack of passion.

Maybe you're no longer interested in the things that you're doing.

Boredom finds you.

Redundancy finds you and your mind wonders.

And if you find yourself in that place, remember that sometimes life is repetitive.

Life is boring.

Life is dreadfully ordinary.

And that's okay.
