Welcome to your mindful focus block.
Before we begin,
Two things.
We get clear on exactly what you're here to do.
And then we prepare your nervous system to do it well.
So,
First your intention.
What is the one specific thing that you're working on in this focus block?
Not your whole list,
Just this.
One task,
One piece of work.
I invite you to stop and write that down.
Make sure to make it specific.
Not work on my project.
But exactly what will you do?
What will you have moved forward by the time our time together stops?
Hold that intention.
Carry it into the tapping sequence.
By the time you open your eyes to work,
You'll be ready.
Find your position.
Close your eyes.
Let's prepare.
Take a slow breath in through your nose.
And release through your mouth.
And another.
Deeper this time.
Breathing in.
And let it go completely.
Notice where your mind is right now.
How many tabs are open?
What's pulling at your attention?
What followed you into this moment from earlier in your day?
You don't need to solve any of it.
You don't need to organize it or prioritize it.
We're simply going to set it down just for now so you can show up fully for the work that's waiting for you.
On a scale of 0 to 10,
Where 0 is completely present and focused,
And 10 is completely scattered and overwhelmed.
Where are you right now?
Note the number.
Let's shift it.
So starting with the fingers on the karate chop point on the side of your hand,
Tapping gently.
And repeating after me.
Even though my mind is still moving.
Even though my mind is still moving.
I choose to arrive here fully.
I choose to arrive here fully.
Even though there's a lot happening around me today.
Even though there's a lot happening around me today.
Right now,
In this moment,
I choose Focus.
Right now,
In this moment,
I choose Focus.
Even though I can't control everything on my plate.
Even though I can't control everything on my plate.
I choose how I show up for what's in front of me.
I choose how I show up for what's in front of me.
Good.
Rest your hands.
Now move to the eyebrow.
Tapping after me and repeating.
All these open tabs in my mind.
All these open tabs in my mind.
Move to the side of the eye.
The emails I haven't answered.
The emails I haven't answered.
Tapping under the eye.
The things I didn't finish yesterday.
The things I didn't finish yesterday.
Tapping under the nose.
The conversation still running in the background.
The conversation still running in the background.
Tapping on the chin.
The decisions waiting to be made.
The decisions waiting to be made.
Tapping on the collarbone.
All this competing for my attention right now.
All of this competing for my attention right now.
Tapping under the arm,
I acknowledge all of it,
And I'm choosing to set it down.
I acknowledge all of it,
And I'm choosing to set it down.
Tapping on the top of the head.
I am ready to focus now.
I am ready to focus now.
Stop tapping and take a breath.
And release.
Tapping on the eyebrow.
My mind is beginning to quiet.
My mind is beginning to quiet.
Tapping on the side of the eye.
The noise is settling.
The noise is settling.
Tapping under the eye.
I don't need to hold all of it right now.
I don't need to hold all of it right now.
Tapping under the nose.
Those things will still be there for me when I need them.
Those things will still be there for me when I need them.
Tapping on the chin.
Right now,
There is only this.
Right now,
There is only this.
Tapping on the collarbone.
This moment,
This work,
This focus.
This moment,
This work,
This focus.
Tapping under the arm,
I'm allowed to be here fully.
I'm allowed to be here fully.
And tapping on the top of the head.
I am fully present and focused,
Ready to work.
I am fully present and focused,
Ready to work.
Stop tapping and take a breath in.
And release.
This is our final round of tapping where we activate.
Starting with the eyebrow,
I am present.
I am present.
Side of the eye,
My mind is clear.
My mind is clear.
Under the eye.
My focus is sharp.
My focus is sharp.
Under the nose,
I bring my full attention to what matters most.

Tapping on the chin,
I am energized and ready.
I am energized and ready.
Tapping on the collarbone.
My best thinking is available to me now.
My best thinking is available to me now.
Tapping under the arm,
I show up fully for this work and for myself.
I show up fully for this work and for myself.
And tapping on the top of the head,
I begin and take action now.
I begin and take action now.
Stop tapping.
Take your breath.
Before you open your eyes,
Bring your intention back to mind one more time.
The specific thing you're here to work on.
Feel what it'll be like to have moved that forward.
To reach the end of this focus block with real progress made.
Check back in on that number from 0 to 10.
Notice where you are now.
When you're ready.
Open your eyes.
Pull up your work and begin.
Your focus block starts now.
You you It is time to close.
Take a breath.
And reflect on these four questions.
I invite you to write down the responses.
1.
What went well in that block?
Find one thing,
However small.
2.
What is a small win?
Let yourself actually feel good about it.
Don't rush past it.
Three,
What is the very next step that you need to take when you return to this work?
Name it specifically.
And four,
Name something you're grateful for right now.
Please join me for your next focus block.
Thank you for the time together today.
