Distractions Decrease Your Focus

Distractions seem to happen every day. In fact, take a moment to think about all the distractions in your life. If you are like most people, you could probably create an entire list.

By decreasing distractions, you can remain focused on your awareness – and connect more powerfully to your inner awareness. This is what mindfulness is all about. It has the power to create new neural pathways and weaken old ones – something very important for trauma survivors. The consistent practice of mindfulness can change the structure and function of your brain.

The more we allow distractions to take our focus, the more we hinder our success. For trauma survivors, this can be challenging and result in more suffering.

If you are trying to make peace with your past, it is important to pay attention and acknowledge these distractions. Then, you can work on shifting your focus from the distracting thoughts that will get in the way of your ability to befriend yourself.

Be nice and encouraging to yourself. Distractions can have a big impact on us. They can make us feel stuck and frustrated, unable to find joy and happiness. It’s important to steer your attention to where you truly want to be in life.

Remember that we are all a work in progress. It is time to start befriending the parts of yourself you disowned a long time ago. So, show interest and curiosity to yourself. You are worth it.

To help decrease your recurring negative thoughts and stop suffering now, you should try to stop yourself from obsessive thinking, look around the room and focus on something to create physical relaxation, and focus on sensations within your body.

I’d love to hear of the ways you work to reduce the distractions in your life. Leave a comment below.
