Focus

" I will mediate on all your works and consider all your mighty deeds." Psalm 77:12

He made a conscious decision to focus on God. Does it read "I might think about Him today if I have time"? God is worth focusing on because nothing compares to Him. When do you think about Him- When you wake up? Before bed? During breakfast and coffee? When you're running or lifting?

No schedule is too hectic for Him. Pray Continually. The way I remind myself is sticky notes. You can put a sticky note with a friend's name who has a prayer request on your mirror. If you start to worry, pray. When you're working out and your mind is wandering, or you don't want to hear the music, pray. If you're running and need to clear your head, pray. I challenge you to start your morning focusing on God, for a week and see how you're different.  Focus on God first and foremost.

Another place you need to focus: when you're lifting. Focus on the muscle group as you're doing the motion. For instance, if you're doing a plank focus on your core (abs, glutes etc.). If you're doing a curl, focus on your bicep. You'll have better results when you focus on your motion. Which, I guess is the point. Focus in the gym, and you'll get better form and better results. More importantly, focus on God and your life will have better results.
