Distractions are all around us these days. Mask, no mask, jab, no jab, white, black, Republican, Democrat, and on and on. Everywhere you turn there are squabbles, opinions, and fear tactics. No doubt all of this can add to an already high-stress level.
Now more than ever, it is so important to keep your focus on those things that really matter. If we are all going to make it through these times, it will be vital to keep your focus on those things that truly matter in life.
Here are some tips for the weary:
1. Get outside and just go for a walk. Allow your mind to focus on the sounds of birds, flowing water, or the rustling of the trees. Just allow your mind to rest on nature.
2. Journal your thoughts. As you do this, write about those things you are grateful for in your life. When you place the good in the forefront, the undesired thoughts take a back seat.
3. Take time to be with family and friends intentionally. Carve out those moments to play games, just to sit and visit, and have long, meaningful conversations.
4. Take care of yourself. Eat healthy, get plenty of rest, and make sure you are balancing your life well.
5. Finally, understand what are those things that completely get you off of your game and distract you. Identify the stressors and re-direct to what truly matters in this life.
Be well, everyone! Life is so precious! Keep your focus on what really matters!
LIV2DAY!
