The escape of distraction.

Too much distraction, can cause one distress.

You may feel the temporary benefit of a distraction from a particular task or situation, however this temporary relief or break, can have negative effects on one’s mental well-being.

Taking a break is required. Distraction is a wolf in sheep’s clothing.

A distraction is an interfering ding on a phone leading one down a rabbit hole that may cause a mind fog inadvertently, and then one might draw a blank and mentally wrestle about what they were doing before the ding occurred.

A distraction is social media scrolling, to keep us hooked.

Adding to the conversation or posting for a dopamine boost of instant gratification.

These social media design choices were created not to encourage critical thinking but to make it challenging for us to resist the distractions of delusional thinking, rather than maintaining focus on a realistic reality and objectives.

A distraction is one more episode of binge watching a series on any number of streaming services when one could be cleaning the living space, getting tasks completed, taking in nature or exercising for the betterment of health.

A distraction is an excuse to procrastinate that can create a cycle of confusion and anxiety.

Falling behind tasks as it gets harder and harder to pull away and get back on track.

Some may even find themselves looking for distractions from life if they realize this reality of idiosyncratic distraction.

Managing distractions requires an acknowledgement of this behavior, a digital detox, then a conscious action in self awareness and self discipline to control it.

It’s an ongoing process of will power over the diversion, as the tools of distraction are linked to us and our daily lives by our choosing, so we think.

The escape of distraction.

It’s your mind, take it back.
