Dealing With Distractions
Some days I’m better than others when it comes to dealing with distractions. I must admit, to my dismay, I haven’t done that very well over the last few weeks. From challenges with a software provider, to website creation, to ideation of a video script, to find an attorney and dealing with a lawsuit, I’ve been a bit distracted. All of those things in addition to submitting proposals and interviewing for contracts. It’s definitely been chaotic for a few weeks.
I can allow distractions to dictate my behavior and as such, some days my list gets missed. Other days I’m a bit abrupt with friends. And on other occasions, I’m basically scatterbrained and unable to focus.
Life happens to us all. What I must bring to the forefront of my mind, and I haven’t lately, is my purpose. I must also meditate on the fulfillment and benefits of my purpose and what happens when I finally get there. I could also take some time to think about the joy I feel when I get those things done that move me a bit closer to what I need to accomplish. Moving about frantically as I have over the last few weeks is exhausting and quite futile. I can and will do a better job at dealing with distractions.
Today, Thursday, April 27, 2023, I am grateful that:
I was able to retain an attorney. If it wasn’t for the assistance of Dale I would not have been able to do so. He’s proven a powerful ally during my stay and I’m happy we remain friends.
Sherman is feeling better. We’d spoken earlier in the week and when I’d called to confirm an appointment he didn’t answer. I correctly assumed he was under the weather, as he’d suspected was upcoming when we’d spoken earlier. He’s better and we’ll more than likely get together on Friday and firm up a plan moving forward.
Cedric was able to offer a referral to an attorney. After meeting with the guy and having a conversation about the case, I felt quite confident in his abilities to have the case dismissed. I could be wrong, but I’m not going to second guess my ability to assess individuals and their talents.
What needs to happen for you to regain focus?
How often do you become distracted?
What are one or two things you can do to deal with those occurrences in a better way?
Be Great. Be Grateful!!!
