Focus is Manifestation – Part I
Once in a while, something happens in our daily routine that truly challenges our ability to manage change in our lives: a severe illness, the loss of a loved one, the ending of a relationship, a major change in the work environment, a new career, etc. That’s what I experienced when I first encountered a severe case of tinnitus (ringing in the ears) some 18 years ago. It became a very threatening situation…. As I lost control of my business and personal activities, I felt I lost control of my life.
One of the most relevant elements in my process was an emphasis on what a close friend of mine used to say, “That which you focus on, you strengthen.”
With time, I developed a series of strategies to adjust to the new circumstances in finding health and learning from experience. Now I’m able to see the situation as a creative challenge rather than as an overwhelming obstacle.
How did I make this transition?
Stage I. Confronting New Reality. When I first encountered tinnitus, I experienced an initial phase of rejection and denial — I refused to believe things had changed.
Stage II. Uncertainty. For ten weeks, I went through a stage of chaos and confusion, with high emotional stress — I didn’t know what to do.
Stage III. Rebuilding. Then I realized I needed to move ahead, so I started developing a series of strategies to create a renewed identity, new goals, and to some extent, a new future.
Each stage provided me with insights that became a step forward in developing new strategies to managing life challenges.
