Continuous distractions appear from all directions nowadays, including within. We can feel consumed by them if we allow ourselves to.
But we can also change the situation. If we’re feeling taken in by distraction, it’s up to each of us to do something about it. One idea? Think of the myriad activities that keep you in the present moment, make you lose track of time, and/or feed your spirit, and engage them often.
Some ideas that come to mind:
1. Watch a sunset
2. Walk with a friend
3. Create something by hand
4. Refine the action plan for one of your goals
5. Plant some herbs
6. Read a gripping book
7. Volunteer for a cause
8. Eat a slow meal with a loved one
9. Watch a campfire
10. Learn a new skill
11. Examine a poem
12. Call a high school friend
13. Bake a loaf of bread
14. Create a breakthrough map for a project or challenge
15. Plan your meals for the week
16. Attend a concert
17. Declutter a drawer

20. Design your ideal morning practice
