The BE Project – In a world where you can be anything…. What will you be?
Meet Jessica – her word for the 2023 BE Project is Focus
What word did you choose and why?
Focus
I chose the word Focus. As a dreamer at heart, I can be easily distracted. I have so many goals this year that I just need to focus in on them a little at a time and dig in to get things done.
This year my word is Focus. Last year brought so much change to my life, and those changes have shifted my perspective and priorities. I have had to relinquish a lot of control and am learning how to manage my time more realistically so that I can really focus on the things that have to get accomplished. In focusing on the things that are most important now, I’ve also been setting new boundaries and cutting out the excess time wasters, and there is a freedom in that.
If you could go back and talk to a younger version of yourself, what would you say?
If I could go back and talk to Jessica a year ago, I’d tell her to cut out some of those things even sooner. I’m big about not living in regret, and I understand that was the process I needed to go through to find healing, but the focus I am creating for my goals now has been so worth letting go of some of those things.
