Alchemy of Focus: When Time Disappears and Hunger Fades
Friday, 31st October 2025
It’s 15:21 on my day off. Since this morning, I’ve sipped on just one cup of coffee.
This is proof positive: when I am building my business, when I am deep in the work I am here to do, time doesn’t just fly—it evaporates. There is never enough of it because I am finally, truly living in it.
I realised something else; The weight gain I’ve wrestled with? It’s the heavy anchor of sitting too long at a job that doesn’t spark my soul. It’s the discontent that manifests as a search for comfort.
But when I am doing what I love, working on Sovren, writing for this blog, alchemising my journey? I don’t even think about food. I put something to heat up a few hours ago and became so engrossed in my purpose that I forgot it entirely.
My body wasn’t hungry because my soul was being fed.
This is the heart of sovereign work. It’s not just about building a business; it’s about building a state of being. It’s where focus consumes inertia, and passion outweighs procrastination.
This is the energy I am now choosing to build on. No more force-feeding a life that doesn’t fit.
