We all know that distractions just get in our way of completing whatever needs to get done, but despite knowing this, we STILL allow distractions to take us away from whatever is highest priority at the moment. These distractions could be our family, friends, wandering thoughts, socials, or anything we suddenly find to do in the moment because we are putting off what we know needs to happen.

Today we are speaking specifically about getting distracted from taking care of our mental health & mindset. And allowing distractions into our lives isn’t too different, regardless of what we are getting distracted from, but the strategy we use will have a few different focuses that relate more to mental health than just getting work done.

But before we get into it, I want to mention that being distracted is totally normal. We can’t always be in total focus on everything we do. Sometimes it’s helpful to have a distraction to give ourselves a chance to reset & take a break from things we are too dialed into.

This could still apply to mental health because we might be too focused on working on ourselves in one specific way and welcome the distraction of moving onto to something else & getting shaken up a bit to even try new things.

Just know, there should be no self-induced shame for giving into distractions because we’re all human and not perfect.
