Why Distractions Instead of Thought as a Response to Inconvenience Will Ruin Your Life

in mindset •  6 years ago  (edited)

Hello, dear Steemians!

Today I have a very important message for you which might turn your life around if given the thoughtfulness that is necessitated.

Difficulties are an inherent and unavoidable part of life. Wherever you go and whatever you do, pain always follows the footsteps of joy. Regardless of whether you have grown to accept this truth of life or not, it is important how you deal with the difficulties and inconveniences that come your way.

Most people would find shelter in the comfort of their harmful distractions, instead of actually sitting down and solving their problem with mindfulness and conscious thought.

Inconvenience draws you out of your comfort zone, both physically and mentally. It is a painful and peculiar occurrence that might happen to us every week or every month.

The problem is that when we come up against a problem or a challenge, the very first thing that we want to do is find a way to avoid them.Because after all, avoiding them would be the easier path. But trust me friends, cowardice will always have company.

Instead of running away, you could stand your ground and fight, saving a lot of time and energy in the meantime while greatly contributing to the state of your mental health.

Addictions, toxic people, mindless pastimes, harmful diversions, and other illusory and wasteful distractions of any kind are favorable inclinations that follow an inconvenience or a problem in our life.

Falling down the rabbit hole of such distractions will only leave you broken and more desperate than ever.

A lot of times we don’t even know that we are falling prey to this destructive pattern of behavior. An incident occurs, and instead of facing it head on with sensibility and thought, we procrastinate and waste time by indulging in activities that might be harmful to our well-being and our future opportunities.

That is why most people in the current state of our modern world fail to live up to their own expectations and achieve their goals in life.

By becoming self-aware and conscious of your coping mechanisms and how you process pain and incident, you can reprogram your brain to face your demons head-on and achieve success without sacrificing your time and energy for the fear of pain and suffering.

The result of us not listening to our experience is that we are doomed to relive it over and over again.

Consider the countless times that you have surrendered to those tempting distractions instead of dealing with your problems and as a result, ruined your opportunities and estimably decreased your efficiency.

Time is not a resource that we can afford to lose. In our folly to run away from the things that would hurt us, and in our lack of tolerance for bearing the difficulties of the road, we waste the little precious time that is given to us in this lifetime.

If you do not become self-aware of how you deal with your problems, your dreams will leave you behind and you will find yourself in a pit of despair, that of your own making.

Think about how you approach your problems.

Do you look for ways to solve them, or do you decide to run away?

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Good afternoon

Says a song "Life is like that ... I have not invented it myself". Who would you like during your life to have no problem or difficulty? The answer is everything, but unfortunately these situations are part of our life.

Everyone at some point has problems, some more than others and some we solve more quickly and effectively than others.

As you say, the problems must be solved from the root, do not use escape routes that only solve part of the problem, but do not allow you to continue in peace and with happiness the path you have traveled.

For many people, it is extremely difficult to leave their conford area and embark on new ways to solve the problems that arise, be it love, family, economy, etc.

We must take action, no matter how difficult it may be, and leave our Conford area in order to progress and progress in life.

regards...

Gracias @chbartist para los seres humanos es necesario escuchar, leer, ver este tipo de enseñanza porque es verdad, el factor de sentirnos al borde del abismo se nos presenta a lo largo de nuestras vidas. Como dices "el dolor siempre sigue los pasos de la alegría". Concentrarnos en nuestro sendero es lo que evitará caer o más aun darnos fuerza para seguir la marcha. @madiba24

Saludos @chbartist! Como indicas en tu escrito, nos dejamos llevar por la felicidad que proporciona un estilo de vida "cómodo y sin problemas", desarrollando una necesidad a la zona de confort.

Pero cuando surgen los problemas no sabemos como afrontarlos porque no hemos desarrollado verdaderas actitudes de trabajo, de emprendimiento, de resolución de conflictos.

Para garantizar nuestro crecimiento personal debemos de plantearnos nuevos objetivos, correr los limites de nuestra zona de confort, de esta manera mantendremos un crecimiento constante.

Feliz día!

We all want the easy way to solve our problems and that's why we pick distractions most times.

Thinking about them might look like an herculean task which we might be uninterested in for the moments.

Irrespective of that I think you're doing a great job.

If you do not become self-aware of how you deal with your problems, your dreams will leave you behind

It's a catch 22 really...jmho...There are those who see a problem and hasten to solve it, instead of letting it meld to full purpose, as a scoby.

Oftentimes, to paraphrase your writing, wise people go through (via perseverance and endurance) the hardships...the inevitable difficulties of life.

Doing so, causes one to emerge completely wiser for outcomes. I will end with an example:

If your business partner betrays you, keep doing the work put before you without denigrating the person who you feel harmed you. Put your energy into learning what wisdom you have gleaned from the experience, more than blaming the person who 'disappointed' you for their actions.

The school of life is a popular phrase; and, I do believe each and every one of us are students of the same throughout the earthly journey.

Peace.

Think about how you approach your problems.
Do you look for ways to solve them, or do you decide to run away?

There are problems that can't be solved. We just have to accept those and bear them patiently up to the end of our last breath.
And it all boils down how we define a problem. Sometimes we think some things or circumstances as problems, in fact they're not.
I guess the main and ultimate one that we could ask and think is how to deal ourselves when we realize that our end is approaching.
In my own point of view, it all matters on how we see joy inspite of all sort of pains especially when we're hitting near the finish line of our existence.

Happy New Year!

Problems tend to snowball into more complex webs which ultimately become too exhausting to handle which is why handling them early and head on is the best way to ignore having a roadblock to your goals and objectives. Just because you cover the sun does not mean it isn’t there so deal with it while you still can.

Happy New Year to you too, @chbartist.
This has been quite a trying year, one that precisely put me to the test in terms of confronting the problems instead of running away from them.
It also served as a test to when and how we can keep confronting and when it is good to just move on and turn the page. Some battles can not be won and going away from that battleground is sometimes the only and wiser option.

@chbartist, Yes, tough times, uncomfortable and inconvenient situations will arise and we all tried to avoid it at some point of time but in my opinion if we will face these situations with more courage then in my opinion we will going to win over the situations and can convert uncomfortable situations into comfortable situations. Stay blessed. 🙂

Yes we have to fight with the circumstances
We should have courage
Instead of running away we should stand and fight
Very inspiring mate @chbartist
And

Happy New Year

I think that sometimes situations happen to us that are not so easy to overcome on their own and therefore we must find the courage to ask for help. When we ask God for help in some way will come, either through a writing or through the words of someone or in the consultation of a professional. The important thing is to find a way to solve the situation and learn from it.

When we understand ourselves better, we are able to experience as a unique and different person. This gives us the power to make changes and to build our abilities. Also, there is also the identification of areas where we want to improve. Self-awareness is often the first step to determine the goals.

Dear @chbartist sir!
It is a strange but the truth that we try to escape the problems as much as the problems are very difficult to get the stretch. Due to the bottom of the difficulties, the fat should be done to make itself so that it is comfortable in odd circumstances. Find the way of finding the way to avoid difficulties, which will only increase our morale but also to fight for the problems, but also to give difficulties to fight the difficulties, if you leave the struggle to give it difficult, then life will be surrounded by problems and will be distracted with the way of development.
Thank you

Tremendous article, If I tell the truth then I am very worried about my life. Whatever little hope is left to us, only because of you @chbartist

Yes you are right ! for me, I think that the big problem that happens to us in our life is to be afraid to meet problems and afterwards not to accept and to deal with problems always leave us in a hell.

Happiness is simply a decision based on faith, willpower and acceptance of reality.


I read your posts it's really interesting ! I would like you to add me to the list and thank you.

Dear @chbartist,
first of all Happy new year. When I read this article the first thing comes to my mind is the movie i completed watching yesterday, it was the great Lord of the rings series. In the third part of the movie there is a character of a lord named Denethor of Gondor. He himself proves that there are many people who would find shelter in the comfort of their harmful distractions. Here he was choosing suicide as his way to avoid himself from war instead of fighting back. But there are others who actually fought against the enemy in the movie and they become my examples for people those stand on ground and fight and save the country.

Hi @chbartist happy New year. Distractions are not good as it impacts our wokring productivity. We must try to stay away from the things which distract us instead things which makes us concentrate, we must involve ourself as much as possible. Have great start of the year dear friend and looking forward to making our community more stronger this year. Thanks

What often beats us is not the so-called difficulties, but our own heart. If we always run away from difficulties, we won't succeed in doing anything.

Fight the demon inside you. Face problems, end it successfully with God then be free. :)

@chbartist As we know Distractions is a negative and it harms our life . If we distract from our goal then it must ruin our life and thought as a response depend on how it was , thought was negative or positive and how we response ?.
HAPPY NEW YEAR !

Nice man.

Distraction can increase performance and endurance — listening to music during exercise gives your workout a boost and makes physical activity less painful.

Distraction is not the problem — the reason why we become distracted can harm or help you.

When we can’t find the path towards focus and mindfulness, most people use distraction as an exit door. We cross it to escape from what we don’t want to face. Distraction becomes an easy way out from not dealing with reality.

Distractions can help you prepare to deal with the future. You can turn them into a meaningful pause in between tasks — being ‘always on’ can be as harmful as continually running away. Your brain, just like your body, needs to rest from time to time. Setting your mind free can help you unleash creativity and discover new things.

Incredible @chbartist ...!!!

When I first started out in my career as a Special Education teacher I had an administrator who once told me something that I have practiced since that very day .
These words of wisdom have shaped my way of dealing with unfortunate or worrisome events since then. His exact words to me were, "If something is bothering you, get up and do something about it."
He went on by explaining that facing the issue will help to resolve the problem, and more than likely the problem will be go away or a mutual understanding of the issue will be nurtured.
Don't have any hidden agendas. To this day I find it almost impossible to move onto other matters in my life until I have addressed the problem at hand.
This is especially true when it comes to personal relationships. When a problem arises with a family member or friend, dealing with it immediately, doesn't allow the problem to fester, and in turn makes one realize that the issue is not insurmountably.

This is a thoughtful blog, I mean triggers you to think deep. I would say its best to face the situation, learn from it and grow. Unfortunately, there are lot of problems unsolved and they seem to be not possible to resolve, which means have to leave it and do something else. It helps if you have people who encourage you and push you to do stuff that you prevent yourself from doing because of discomfort, coz as you said we are unaware that we are missing out on growing, on facing a problem and trying to resolve it. Definitely running away making things worst, coz believe me as you grow old they became ghosts from the past that haunt you causing such terrible pain, that you provably want to distract yourself.

However, is it ok if we distract ourselves through positive stuff, coz seriously, can't solve all the issues and problems that prevailing and thinking about it puts one to despair. Like if we divert ourselves exercising, doing yoga, doing other activities that keep you engaged and happy?.
