Distractions pull me away from being in the moment and
thriving. I can become distracted by
trying to fix other’s problems rather than allowing them to take responsibility
for their own journey and being supportive and trusting. I get unfocused and overwhelmed by dwelling
on what’s wrong in the world rather than what’s right. I become preoccupied and obsessive about
details and sometimes fail to see the forest for the trees. I am sidetracked by the continual pull of TV,
shopping, addiction, internet surfing, and a multitude of other activities that
can waste my energy and time. I am
attracted to the easy and fast appeal of eating junk food and skipping exercise
rather than engaging in healthier behavior.
No wonder I feel anxious, confused, and discouraged.
Today, I choose to consciously engage in this day. I will take time to appreciate the people I encounter and savor the moments I experience by breathing mindfully and cultivating awareness. When I begin to over or under focus I will gently call myself back to now and re-focus my attention.
