When things get tough, take a pause.
Make yourself your favorite snack or meal, drink some water, stretch your body, have a warm bath, watch a fun movie or a comforting one, cuddle with a plushie or anything fluffy and soft. Do anything you like and finding comforting and reassuring.
Hug yourself, embrace yourself. You need and deserve that. Remind yourself you are important, even if you can't see how. You are. The little things you do that you are not aware of, they are very important for someone. And for sure, they are for yourself. Keep going.
Our world is becoming increasingly filled with distraction. Information moves faster, louder, and brighter than ever before. Entertainment, social media, and marketing have never been so prevalent. They beg for our attention and our focus. In so doing, our minds are diverted from more important work.
However, these distractions are easy to notice. After all, the battle plays out in front of us each day.
Far more detrimental to our lives are the subtle distractions that quietly surround us. They are not announced with blinking lights or beeping sounds. In fact, they have become so commonplace and ever-present, we hardly even notice their existence. But these distractions take residence in our mind and wreak havoc on our pursuits. And in the end, it keeps us from living our lives to its greatest potential.
