Distractions

I’m thinking about Distractions and how they lead to becoming disconnected with our life.  Seems that if you want to live intentionally, you learn how to ignore the distractions or you learn how to dismiss them quickly.  I know, I know, distraction is good when you want a break from thinking about work or something else that is consuming you.  I’m not talking about that.  I’m talking about those things which distract us from our relationships.  Excessive work, hobbies, the internet, sports, TELEVISION…these things distract us from the reality that matters.  In fact, Ive had a hard time finishing this post because my kids and my family need attention -irony?  So, I’m thinking about what distracts me on a consistent basis and I’m asking myself if it’s helping or hurting my relationships.  By the way, Fantasy Football begins soon, how many leagues constitutes a distraction???
