Hi, I'm Johnny john. So in life, it's easy to develop a habit of always doing things without being in focus and letting our mind wander off. So in this video, I want to talk about the importance of being in focus of not letting our mind wander off of how not being in focus can affect our state of happiness. So in life, it's easy to do things and let our mind wander off was this Daydream daydreaming, thinking about being in another place well, within the classroom or in the job. Now, we may do this for many reasons. Maybe it's because we don't find that thing that that's we're doing in front of us is meaningful, or we may be worrying about other problems we have in our mind.

While we may just want to rush To complete something else. Now, when you are not in a state of focus, and letting your mind wander off, three things will happen. The first thing is that your happiness will drop. The second thing is that your productivity and your efficiency will drop as well. And thirdly, you will feel more tired. Today, I just want to focus on the most important part, which is the relationship between focus in happiness, because I want you to develop greater happiness in life.

So I want to make you aware of how focus can affect our levels of happiness, with focus will come the state of happiness, and let me tell you how I discovered the relationship between focus and happiness. So there was this time I went to a pasta meditation retreat a few years ago. There you had to meet take hours and hours each day, I really didn't like to meditate for that long because for me it was extremely boring, just sitting there doing nothing. So I would always find myself wandering off in my mind thinking about breakfast or having a holiday. Well, how many more days days left in this meditation retreat. Now, over time, I began to observe my state of mind, the level of my happiness when I go through these experiences, and what I discovered that whenever my mind was wandering off, I wasn't happy.

And then those times when I tried my best to focus on what I was doing, to simply just be present. I experienced a profound sense of happiness. And this was consistent. And so I began to question myself. This is only apply a meditation or with the state of focus. We'd also work on other activities.

Because in the past, I used to think this is a part of me which belief that it's the activity which gives you happiness. So I started testing out when I went out. When I went out off the meditation retreat into my daily life. I try to do everything in focus, walking on the street, washing dishes, using computer using internet. And I realized that every time I was in complete focus, I was experiencing the same profound sense of happiness. There was when I realized that happiness does not come from the quality of the activity, but rather from the state of mind that we have when we do a particular thing.

So that's why it's important for you to be in focus and whatever you're doing Because unhappiness is experienced when you let your mind wander off, and happiness is experienced when you're not present. So if we apply focus on the most mundane, the most boring things in life, we can still enjoy it. We can still experience happiness. Remember, it's not an activity, but rather the state of mind when that creates happiness and enjoyment and whatever we do in life. Now, at first, this will be difficult to do, because the reason why we're not focused is because we don't have the intention to be focused. We desire more for our mind to wander off, but the more you try to be focused, the more you try to be in a focused state.

Whatever you do, the more you will allow the mind to experience the happiness that comes from the state of focus. And the more intention you will naturally develop, to be in the state of focus. So it will become easier and easier by simply trying to be focused all the time. So in summary, try to be in a focus state and whatever you do in life, because from focus comes the state of happiness. And the more you try, the easier it will become
