 5 Ways to avoid distractions in life!

Distractions are common. So common, that it can occupy you the whole day feeding on your time and energy, starving your goal and at the end leaving you empty handed with zero output. So if you are distracted most of the time, there is nothing to worry about it; just a phase and happens with all. All you got to do is just follow these 5 golden rules to put your life on a distraction free track!

 

START SETTING GOALS

One of the basic reasons for distraction is an aimless life. As it is rightly said “An empty mind is devil’s workshop” and so this aimless mind makes you start wondering about the unwanted, and you start wasting your time, a lot of it. This when followed for a stretch of a time, eventually leads us into getting habitual and easily falling  prey to distractions. Thus the most important way of preventing distractions is to keep your mind occupied by setting goals.


 

BREAK LARGER GOALS INTO SMALLER ONES

5 Ways to avoid distractions in life!

As it is in human nature, a person can’t stick to anything for long and thus a long term goal becomes much harder to achieve eventually leading to distraction. Thus to prevent it you could break your aim into small goals making it easier to stick to short goals. And it’s comparatively easier to shift your mind among these short goals without getting distracted than sticking to a vast one.

 

REWARD YOURSELF

Even the completely occupied mind gets diverted if not rewarded. And as it is rightly said that the reward for work well done is an opportunity to do more. So don’t hesitate from rewarding thinking it to be a wastage and start rewarding yourself with short breaks this is not only going to prevent distraction but would also refresh your mind and encourage you to perform more.

 

MEDITATION

7 POWERFUL WAYS TO FIGHT FACEBOOK JEALOUSY Each of our lives, are beautiful in their own solely wondrous ways. Let us then learn to accept the beautiful life we have been gifted with. Recognize, accept and demolish one of the most common disorders of our times – Facebook jealousy, by simply following these means: MAKE THE ACCESS DIFFICULT Most of the times we mindlessly enter into the social media the moment we find some free time. We’re not even thinking, we’re just functioning out of habit. Hence it is important that the access to the social media (such as Facebook) is made difficult, so that the action isn’t passive but proactive, on which our mind will then have some control. An instance of how to make it work: What we could do is, delete the apps from our phones and instead log into the desired social platforms through the internet – a more long drawn process. RECOGNIZE THE SPECIFIC SOURCE OF JEALOUSY Have you tried to identify the exact stuff that bothers you? If not then do it right away! Is it the ‘oh-so-happy’ couple that posts loveable photos constantly or is it your exceptionally rich friend who keeps travelling around the world, has a beautiful house, cool parents and an amazing boyfriend? Whatever be the source of your feelings of envy, block them out. Hide the notifications from these particular lists of people and live in peace. You could even un-friend them, provided they aren’t close friends. PERFORM A GRATITUDE MEDITATION What is a gratitude meditation? A gratitude meditation according to study is like an acknowledgement to life for whatever it has provided you with. Be happy because of what you have instead of being upset for what you don’t. Ponder upon everything nice that you have been blessed with; a home, understanding parents, good looks, a best friend, a regular job, which you may have taken for granted by now. Ever wondered about those people who don’t even have one fourth of what you possess? Some don’t have a job, or a home and worse still, some don’t even have parents. Just know that you are blessed! SET YOUR OWN GOALS AND ACHIEVE THEM Don’t be jealous of other people’s success. Achieve your own success by setting up a goal for yourself. Try to look ahead of time at the goal you’d like to achieve and work towards it And nothing will be able to beat the happiness you achieve out of attaining that goal, not even other people’s success. It could be something as simple as publishing your own novel; however it could mean much more to you than the second promotion your friend on Facebook got at work. COMPARISONS ARE MEANINGLESS You can’t compare your life to somebody else’s life. Just like I mentioned above, what is important to you may not be as important to somebody else and vice-versa. What is rather more important is how happy you are and what is/are those things that make you happy. Yes, someone might be really happy back in Miami strutting around in a sexy swimsuit but “hey!” do you really want to be in Miami right now doing the same? Or do you want to feel happy? If your happiness does not reside in going to Miami and wearing a bikini, then why bother wasting your time and emotions over something you DO NOT EVEN WANT, my love? LIVE IN THE REAL LIFE Life on Facebook is so much different to real life, just like the edited version of your friend’s profile picture, where she looks so much skinnier, or let’s say, so much happier than she truly is in real life. Virtual media can be very deceptive. This seemingly rich friend of yours might look perfectly satisfied and happy with their life on the social media, with a big house, two gorgeous cars, etc. However on meeting them you might just come to know about how their loved one is suffering from a debilitating disease and is under therapy. Their life doesn’t seem all that attractive any longer, does it? Or it could be something as superficial as the alignment of her teeth, you never even noticed on Facebook, while you thought she stole the show with perfect facial features and pretty blue eyes. LEND A HELPING HAND TO OTHERS According to research, helping others causes a mood lift in us. It makes us feel happy about ourselves, aiding in getting rid of the negative emotions of jealousy. It also makes us realise about the absence in other’s life, of those things that we have. It grants a feeling of satisfaction and gratefulness. Are you suffering from Facebook jealousy? How do you counter this issue? Let us know in the comments section, below.

 

So now it’s the high time to say good bye to distraction that has till now prevented you from achieving what you were capable of. Let the distraction pack its bag and these 5 golden rules would help you escort them to airport for their last flight from your life port.
