Daily I hear a lot of people talking about all their ‘Distractions’.
And whilst I have written extensively on the topic and listed all the real distractions in your life that you need to get rid of, I ever so often stop and think about whether or not I should have added *more* meat to the bone, in other words, ‘upgrading the tech’ and fill out whatever gaps are there. Because the truth is, the world is really rife with distractions. Everywhere you go there is the possibility of getting caught up in something. Whether it is Pete Butt-Gay-Gay [yeah, I am having a little fun with names] wearing clean shoes when visiting a train derailment disaster scene or some war going on elsewhere, you risk getting caught up in whatever affair people talk about the loudest.
Not to mention your phone.
I keep saying ‘use the phone as a tool, not as a toy’ for very good reason.
Whatever dumb game and amusement apps you have on your phone, delete them and rather focus on levelling up, making more money, getting more deals done and attracting more girls.
That being said, I was, and still am, one of those people who consider dating apps as ‘game’ as well because of all the dumbassery that’s going on there.
But, the biggest distraction in life is one you cannot ‘run’ from or ‘eliminate’ as much as you can actually accept it.
It’s kind of like The Demon which haunts people in Paranormal Activity.
Even when moving countries the demon pursues them.
And ‘your demon’ does the precisely same thing.
It stalks you throughout time, country, time zones, language, behavior, whatever. Unless you actually go full exorcist and command it to leave your body. Now granted, you cannot throw Holy Water at it and use a Cross and a Bible to get rid of it.
But you *can* choose to accept that it will always be there and thus, work with it.
Listen up.
I am talking about your own thoughts.
Nothing more, nothing less.
Your own thoughts and what you choose to fill them with totally dictates how you view the world and what you do on a daily basis. If you get too caught up in a pair of beautiful tits and some booty, which distracts you from writing copy, doing customer research or Hell, even lifting the weights in the gym, you are distracted. If you cannot get that Insta Clip of some guy with sunglasses on driving a Lambo to flex, you’re distracted. If you get so caught up in watching a boxing fight instead of doing accounting or bookkeeping for your business, you are distracted. And so on and so forth.
You know where I am going with this.
You also know that if I tell you to ‘Not think of a Pink Elephant’, a Pink Elephant is precisely the first thing you’d start thinking about.
Same goes with the pair of boobs, the Lambo, the boxing fight and so on.
Telling someone to ‘not think about something’ oftentimes has the inverse effect.
It’s kind of like putting a bowl of sweets before a 5 year old kid and tell said kid to ‘not touch the sweets’ only to walk away in good faith. Perhaps 1 in 1,000,000 kids actually won’t touch the sweets. But nature has a funny way of working.
My point is, *do not occupy yourself with ways to actively avoid your distracting thoughts*.
Instead accept that they’re there and do whatever you can to work around them.
Yeah I get it, working around these thoughts can be a challenge in itself and is of course depending on whatever situation you’re in. Which is precisely why it requires further dissection and evaluation of your life. Something I can’t do right here and now in this email, but something I might can do to people who subscribe to my email list.
Speaking of my email list, I have a FREE ebook which you’ll get when you sign up right away.
In that ebook I list 10 distractions you should eliminate, one of which is Shame and Guilt.
Yes, I go mental and dive into what’s *really* occupying you.
Anyone can list a simple list of ‘de-cluttering’ and ‘selling all the things you don’t need’, but I consider that knowledge for the kids. I, on the other hand, cater to more responsible adults who want to learn what the real problem is.
Anyway, I won’t tease you any more, other than saying I teach you how Shame and Guilt distracts you from achieving what you really want in life.
