Finding Focus with Kathleen Davenport

This episode has nothing to do with Finding Focus After 50, but it's Halloween so why not share a true ghost story?

"During the night, I kept hearing what I thought was the stairwell door slamming or the next-door room door slamming shut. Every time I'd open our door to look out, I never saw anyone. Yesterday I asked the desk clerk if anyone was staying in the end room the same night we were. He said no one was in that room. And I asked him if the security guards or anyone uses the end doorway. He said no, no one uses those doors. My daughter and I both heard noises in the room (and from the non-existent room above us), so I know I wasn't imagining things."

Tune in as I tell you about a very interesting Halloween spent at a very old hotel...

I haven’t recorded anything in a few weeks because I’ve been suffering from allergies and I was so stuffy and tired. I also had family visiting and wanted to spend time with them. But I’m much better now and getting back in the groove.

While my family was in town it was wonderful just to explore and be spontaneous and unfocused from my usual routine. But what being unfocused has done is allowed me to REFOCUS--and now I've got even more energy to pour into new (and old) things.

So as much as I talk about finding focus, sometimes you have to just let go and be unfocused. 

This quick Focus episode reminds you're going to feel unfocused at times--just know that it's okay!

Take a listen and let me know our thoughts.

“It’s like you’re talking just to me.”

I've had more than one person tell me this about the things that I post and talk about, and this is probably one of the highest compliments I can receive.

I write and speak from experience and from the heart, and when I do, I usually have a cup of coffee on my desk.  Prior to the C-shutdown, one of my favorite things to do was to meet one or more people for a cup of coffee and just chat about anything and everything. Not a business meeting as I used to do when I was working for someone else, but a lovely chance to connect.

So if you feel I'm talking just to you, it's because that's the mindset I have when I share what I do. We’re just having a cup of coffee together.

I also speak and write from my viewpoint as an empath, as an intuitive guide. I get nudges from the Universe saying, "Someone needs to hear this today." Over the years I’ve become more open to hearing (and relaying) these messages and as a result the words seem to just flow at the right time—and to the right person.

I hope you'll listen in as I talk about the messages that are meant just for you!

If you’re in Hawaii and walk the beach lagoons at Ko Olina in the early morning, you’ll see a lovely group of senior citizens (kupuna as we lovingly call them), enjoying the morning playing ukuleles, singing, and dancing hula. They’ve been meeting here for over 20 years. I happened to come upon them a few years ago when I was taking a walk and I’d always see this jolly group of people. One morning I stopped and chatted with them.

The group is a great example and reminder that life is precious and you need to slow down and enjoy it.

One day, however, a girl in a red bikini walked by....

And I had to share the conversation that ensued between 82-year-old Ed and 81-year-old Millie, which also prompted me to think of life lessons.

What's caught your eye?

And what's holding you back?

Tune in to my latest podcast as I discuss the false beliefs and stories we tell ourselves that stop us from finding focus and getting from where we are to where we want to be.

Are you only using 20% of your power? Do you even know? How would things change for you if you could learn to better assess a situation and respond more effectively?

How would it feel if you knew you were in the best position to take the next shot?

Take a listen to today's 5-Minute Focus and start thinking whether you're only using 20% of your power and how things can change if you improve your speed, power, and accuracy.

"How do I get unstuck?"

I get asked this question a LOT. The question itself has a lot of varieties:

"How do I get more motivated"

"How do I go to the next level in my business?"

"How can I get rid of the stress?

"How do I find my next chapter?"

"How can I improve my life?"

"How can I find more time, energy, etc.?"

My question in response is: "What are you stuck in or on?" A job you don't like? A relationship that isn't working? Should you move or should you stay?

To start getting unstuck, you have two choices....

Learning how to get yourself unstuck and move forward in a positive and productive way--with less fear and uncertainty--is what I'll be discussing on this podcast. You'll learn what keeps people stuck and you'll also learn the framework of how to successfully get unstuck.

Life is too short to live in limbo and stay in stuckiness. You deserve to live a life that lights you up!

I recently got back into the game of golf after taking many years off to have a career, kids, and tend to life in general. So to get back into the game more quickly, I hired a coach to help me get my swing back. I soon learned that golf lessons also relate to life lessons and that the game of golf is really up to you—just as it is in how you live your life.

Now is the time to put yourself first. Make yourself a priority. And know that it’s okay to go to the head of the line.

I'm Kathleen Davenport, a professional photographer, certified life coach, motivational speaker, personal development trainer, avid golfer, and retired Air Force officer on a mission to help you find new focus, discover different opportunities, gather your right tribe, and learn to live the rest of your life as the best of your life.

During this episode I’ll be talking about putting yourself first; learning to move forward; and honoring your experience. Knowing who you are and what you have to offer is beyond bragging and having an ego. It’s the means of recognizing who you are and how you can best use your gifts and talents. Learn how to focus on your energy, not your age. 

Be inspired to move into this new level of life with new focus and energy. Don’t let the years behind you stop you from creating a fulfilling life ahead of you.

And remember: At this age, at this stage—we’re just getting started!
