The Power of Focus Dressing

2025, a new year, a fresh start—yet it’s January 30th, and I am already noticing how the month is coming to a close and thinking about where my attention and focus have been.

We live in a world that is shifting rapidly—politically, socially, & environmentally. In DC, the government transition is palpable. The Israel conflict and ceasefire remain fragile, and my heart is with Southern California, where devastating fires have hit close to home.

For those who don’t know, I moved from South America to Southern California for college, and the affected areas were practically in my backyard. I’ve found a way to help, and I encourage you to do the same—it’s a mitzvah, a good deed.

Moments like these remind me how much the external world shapes us—but also how much power we have in shaping our own inner world. Amid the uncertainty, the decisions we make—about our mindset, our focus, and even how we present ourselves—matter more than ever.
