Following this week’s theme of Attention and Intention, lets bring our awareness to our Distractions. We live in an information society and that is great, but I feel like I am on information overload.
I get easily distracted when I hear the beeps or see the notifications on my phone or tablet. I tend to stop what I am doing and get sucked into the time warp of the computer, email, texts or Facebook. So, for me, I have turned off the notifications and only check those devices two or three times a day. I might miss something, but will a few hours make a difference, I think not. I went 10 days without touching technology devices when I attended Silent Awakenings, a silent retreat, offered through the Chopra Center for Wellbeing. I learned that I was much more at peace when I wasn’t distracted by technology. I love being connected, but I learned that it is important that I determine when I will use technology during the day and not let it run my life with alerts and notifications. What are your distractions? How can you minimize your distractions?
