How To Change Your Favorite Color

Hi there.

Mind games are fun.

On any random Tuesday you will find me in some combination of lavender glasses, pulling my. lavender phone out of my lavender purse, wearing lavender shoes, shorts, or bra.

Because I decided to make lavender my favorite color, just for fun.

To see if I could.

I did it and it stuck.

And became such a part of me that I forgot I ever didn't love it. 

Until I handed C, my partner, my glasses to hold while I took off my shirt, revealing my lavender bra, recalled the lavender Teva’s I just took off and I said,

WTF is up with all this lavender?

He reminded me that I did it on purpose. And then I remembered how, just a year before, bright emerald green was my #1 fave. Lavender was fine, but not on my radar.

Now I love both.

These aren’t life and death shenanigans, but it’s pretty fun to practice deliberate focus, over and over, in areas where the stakes are low.

That way, in areas where stakes are higher, your focusing skills are better.

This matters because you get what you focus on.

If you want to be more in control of what you get,

Be more in control of what you focus on.
