Shift Your Focus

Waypoint Message

When you're stressed, your brain often locks onto the negative. It looks for what’s going wrong and what could go worse. But you can train your focus like a flashlight: choose where to shine it. Shifting your focus doesn’t mean ignoring problems. It means giving energy to what helps you move forward. Focus on the positive things in your life and the things that bring you joy before trying to deal with a stressful situation. This reset will help you navigate challenges.

Success Strategies

1. Find the Bright Spot
Ask: “What’s one thing that went okay today?” Even small wins deserve attention.

2. Gratitude Snapshot
Take a moment to notice or write down three things you’re thankful for right now.

3. Refocus Phrase
Try saying: “This is hard, but here’s what I can do next.”
