In this day and age, it is easy to be distracted. We can all distract ourselves with social media feeds, binge watching television, gossip and obsessing over other people. Distraction keeps a person from focusing upon their own life and themselves.
Pulling yourself back into the present moment takes conscious thought and vigilance. Activities that keep your mind engaged in the moment will strengthen your ability to control and direct your own thinking. I think it is of most importance to stay present and remain goal oriented. Why waste our days in toil and distraction when we have the opportunity to live a life of purpose. You can live the life you desire, you just need to keep constant distractions at bay.
