I used to think that I could do a million things at once but the hard truth is that I can’t, most people can’t (besides moms but they are superhuman). Multitasking is not actually doing a bunch of things at once, it is “switching our attention from task to task extremely quickly” and it doesn’t work as well as we think it does. Focusing on one thing at a time is where it’s at. If you don’t believe me, read this article.

Since this realization, I started creating an overall focus for each year. Last year’s main focus was weight loss and this year’s focus has been to get my coaching business off the ground, along with continuing the healthy habits that I learned last year. Everything was going along just fine, until this summer when I met someone. It was completely unexpected and completely ridiculous because it happened at the end of my girls trip/lake house week. I am not going to go into any detail but I knew right away that he was a distraction and although I am completely open to meeting someone in God’s timing, it just felt off. He seemed like a wonderful guy and we had a great time together but I told him not to call me because it would be a waste of his time (and mine). I still let myself day dream for a few weeks and I even social media stalked a bit (luckily he is fairly off the grid) but I thank God that I was wise enough not to pursue anything further. In years past, I could have very easily gone down the rabbit hole but I pulled myself back from the edge, just in time.

I am confident that I made the right choice here. I cannot allow myself to be distracted from my goals and what I believe is God’s best for me. I want to make decisions that bring me closer to my God and my goals and choosing not to focus on a man (or at least that man) right now is in line with that.
