Staying positively focused on what you want is a primary element of the Law of Attraction and becoming a successful conscious creator. If you are too easily distracted and need some tips to improve your focus, keep reading!
You are always focusing on something, whether intentionally or by default. Our society has become addicted to stimulation and most people allow the distractions of the day to dictate what they think about. This causes scattered thoughts and dwindling attention spans.
A past survey of my newsletter subscribers was asked the question: “What are the main obstacles regarding the implementation of the Law of Attraction in your daily life?” The number one answer was lack of focus (41%).
10 Tips to Improve Your Focus
To apply the Law of Attraction deliberately and successfully, it is important to develop the ability and skill to focus your thoughts. The following ten tips will help you to improve your focus for successful manifestation of your desires.
1. Prioritize Your Goals
Make a decision on which area of your life you would like to work on first; health, money, relationship, etc. Then break that down into manageable goals, concentrating on 1-3 intentions at a time within that area. If you want to clean up your vibration about money, you could set the intention to pay off your debts, find a better paying job, or start your own business. When you get the hang of manifesting you can increase the number of goals to work on.
2. Minimize Distractions
Take an honest look at your lifestyle and schedule and decide what your distractions are. What can you give up to help you feel more at ease? A relaxed environment allows for a relaxed mind, and a relaxed mind allows for clearer focus. For starters, consider turning off the television and avoid reading the news for a while. These can be positive energy robbers and can draw your attention away from the joyful life you are trying to create.
3. Have a Routine
Get into the habit of deliberate focusing. Making a commitment to set time aside every day will help immensely in creating lasting changes. Use this time to meditate, imagine, repeat affirmations, or use any other process or game that helps you focus your attention.
4. Meditate Daily
If you are used to constant stimulation and are new to meditation, it might be a challenge for you at first. But it is truly worth taking the time to learn. Meditation is an invaluable process to enhance your focusing power, and to train your vibration away from patterns of resistance and towards patterns of allowing.
5. Release Resistance
Your belief that you are unable, or don’t have time to focus is resistance to your ability to do so. EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique), also known as Tapping, is the best tool I know of to release that resistance and change you habitual thinking. You could use statements such as “Even though I have trouble focusing…” or “Even though my thoughts feel scattered…” To learn more about EFT check out my EFT Tapping page.
6. Do a Focus Wheel
In the book Ask and It Is Given by Esther and Jerry Hicks, Abraham offers the Focus Wheel Process to help you focus your attention on what you want. To make a Focus Wheel, draw a small circle in the center of a piece of paper with a larger circle around it reaching to the edges of the paper. Write your desire in the center circle and positive statements and phrases around the outer circle that match your desire. This process will help you improve your feeling of clarity and shift the energy of your emotions.
7. Create a Vision Board
If you are a visual person like I am, a vision board is the perfect way to capture your attention on a daily basis. Create a board that represents what you are focusing on and put it somewhere where you will see it often. This will be a continual reminder for you to keep your thoughts flowing in the direction you want them to flow.
8. Repeat Affirmations
Repeating affirmations throughout the day will help keep your thoughts in alignment with your intentions. It is a powerful way to change your beliefs, and therefore manifest what you want. Keep it simple. Choose one or two and repeat often throughout the day.
9. Have a Support System
It is helpful to have someone to inspire and uplift you, and who can gently keep you on track. Choose someone who is supportive and encouraging, who holds the highest vision of who you really are. This can be a spouse, relative, friend, or coach.
10. Seek Inspiration
Immerse yourself in positive energy resources about the topic you are focusing on. Listen to videos, read books, etc. to keep you motivated and excited. I highly recommend any or all of the teachings of Abraham. You can find books on Amazon (written by Esther and Jerry Hicks) or videos on YouTube (search for Abraham-Hicks).
Be Easy On Yourself
Remember, it took a period of time for you to get to the place of scattered thinking, so don’t beat yourself up if you have trouble staying on track in the beginning. If you find yourself drifting off course, just gently bring yourself back.
It takes time to retrain your mind to think in ways that are more in alignment with your desires. You can improve your focus for successful manifestations. Whatever you do, don’t give up! Your ideal life is ready and waiting for you!

I want to change my life, it’s been a very sad year having lost a precious Grandson, and now being made redundant (I’m 56). I want to feel ALIVE again – my family needs me back and it feels like I’m in a cocoon they can’t break me out of – I’m desperate for this to work.

You are already on the path of changing your life by speaking your intention “I want to change my life.” Good things can come out of what we perceive to be negative experiences. Go within and ask your Inner Being how you can feel alive again. The answer will come to you. Everything you want is yours for the asking. All it takes is some shifting of thoughts and energy. All is well. May your life be filled with joyful blessings.

You are providing some excellent tools for people to learn to apply the Law of Attraction.
Just as you suggest in your first point that people should focus on 1-3 intentions at a time, I find that true with all tools. I encourage people to start with 1 or 2 tools, rather than trying to incorporate them all at once which could lead to feeling overwhelmed.
Choose the ones that “speak to you” and use them frequently (several times a day) until they have become a part of your routine.
One word about affirmations, especially for people who are facing emotionally charged life challenges as Mike and Tom mention, be sure that you BELIEVE your affirmations. Repeating something over and over without positive energy (belief) behind it is actually affirming the negative. If needed, alter your affirmation until you have one that you believe is possible–even if it seems really tiny.
Starting small allows for success. Success allows for more success. By building on each success you will be amazed at how magical your life can become!
