Hello friends today I am going to discuss about distraction. By distraction I mean there are certain things around you or certain activities that you do which takes your important time without letting you know and you being addicted to it. Unknowingly or knowingly disturbs you from doing your important or productive work. It could be your social applications such as whatsapp, facebook, instagram or television, electronic gadgets or it could be your friends taking you out for no reason which could prove non productive. And thus you could not come up with the results that you expect from yourself or whatever your friends or family members expect from you which leaves you frustrated, irritated and kills your interest in that work.
And then you keep defending yourself by giving reasons and blaming others. The reasons could be anything like I wasted my time on whatsapp, facebook or sometimes reasons turn into blames and blames into arguments and fights with the near ones.
When you find these applications or other stuff as your problems you try to find out solutions such as "I will give one 30 minutes to facebook, 1 hour to instagram, 45 minutes to whatsapp and 1 hour to friends" or " I will not watch television or I will not check emails". etc
But at the end of the day each time slot consumes double or triple as much time as allotted and you fail.
Now lets see are these applications the reason behind your distraction or the reasons are something different. According to me these applications are not the reason behind your distraction. There are two big reasons behind your distraction and these reasons are...
1 Your non involvement in the work.
You are not 100% involved in the work and if your involvement is not 100% then the stuff around you can easily distract you and your lack of involvement proves that you are not interested in that work at all and you are not loving what you are doing. This causes you stress and to remove this stress your mind diverts you to certain things which relaxes your mind and makes you feel better.
Stuff around us do not distract us, we find reasons to get distracted because we want to avoid stress.
2 Second reason behind distraction is that we do not have a clear VISION or PURPOSE in OUR LIFE that where do we want to reach and when.
Don't you think these distractions might have been there in the life of BILL GATES, SUNDAR PICHAI, MARK ZUCKERBURG or anyone who you admire or think is successful in life. Definitely distractions were there, but the only difference between them and you that made them achieve great heights of success is PURPOSE. All the successful people have a purpose in their life. They live with a purpose and they know it very clearly what they want to achieve and when they want to achieve it and what it takes to fulfill their purpose.
Whatever work they used to do they were 100% involved in it. They had their complete dedication and interest in their work and so they used to love what they did. This made them successful because distraction is a part of everyone's life but success comes to those who are still able to focus on their work, who are still involved with their heart and mind into their work, who till the end love what they do. They are still doing the same work with same focus and passion.
So here are my TIPS to you whenever you feel distracted.
- Tell yourself that these things are not distracting you, you are distracting yourself and its completely in your control to get distracted or stay focused.
- Find a purpose of your life which is greater than anything else, whether its your distraction or your sleep anything.
- Imagine yourself where you want to be whenever you feel distracted. It will help you stay focused on your work.
- Visualize it and try to live your purpose even if it is yet to be achieved.
- Set a future timeline about what work will be completed in what time and when. This will help you to focus on your work and manage time and thus lead you to achieve that GREAT PURPOSE OF YOUR LIFE.
