While running, I try to be present in the moment and focus on what matters. It is easy to get wrapped up in our daily activities that we forget to focus on the good. Running provides solitude to focus on what is important to you and to take a break from any stressors in your life. I try to change my running routes to let my mind focus on the different sites in Charleston, South Carolina.

One of my favorite places to find focus is at Sullivan’s Island. A beach run is the perfect way to challenge yourself to focus as you can see sand for miles and the waves crashing. Everyone has places that make them happy, and for me, my happy place is the beach. Going on a beach run centers me and reminds me to focus on everything that I should be grateful for in my life. Having the opportunity to be a law student, and to have friends/family that support should be cherished.

Being able to focus on all of the good in your life comes from the activities and people that you partake in. Whenever I run and I get to snap a picture that captures the beauty of the place I get to call home, I remind myself that the small stress I may have doesn’t compare to all of the good in my life. Doing activities that remind yourself to focus on things you should be grateful for recharges you and reminds you to be present in the moment.
Make sure to do what makes you happy and find focus.
