10 Signs You Are Living a Life Focused on Distractions That Keep You Far from Reaching Your Highest Potential

Are you experiencing a life that feels fulfilling; or is there something that you believe needs to happen before your life is rewarding? Are you waiting for a transformation or change? Whatever you think needs to occur for your happiness, is a distraction and is preventing you from living your best life. Keep reading and discover the most common distractions that might be keeping you from your highest potential. 

What Is a Life Distraction?

A distraction is something that pulls your awareness from your highest potential in this life. They can show up as a million different things. An example might be worrying about what the government, your neighbors or coworkers are thinking and doing; after all this is far from your ability to control. 

Distractions are a process of you giving your energy and power away; this can be when you stay in a job or relationship just to prove a point or satisfy others. It could also be thinking you need the new red car, instead of focusing on your wellness. 

Sometimes it is painful to identify life’s distractions because it highlights what needs to change in your life; and we all know that some changes can be off putting. 

My Story 

Throughout my life I have whittled away at what distracted me from my best life. An example of one of my personal distractions popped up in my 40’s. I loved running and the feeling of freedom that came with it. I loved picking a race and training for it, but when I began to have health complications and running was worsening them, I did not want to quit. Running was my distraction from what needed to change in my life. 

Of course, the Universe completely opened my life to a million new experiences, but first, I had to mourn the end of my relationship with running marathons. I had huge changes in my life that put me on the path to my highest potential. 

This experience has made it easy for me to see what is distracting not only me, but my clients from their highest potential. I love helping people discover the awareness of their highest and best self. It reminds me of showing someone how to steer a boat from uncomfortable choppy, muddy waters to an easy flowing river that offers clarity and peace. 

10 Common Life Distractions 

Are you living a life that is stuck and repeating the same life lessons? Do your relationships or habits have a different name, but leave you feeling the same as your past experiences? 

Do you have addictions in your life that control your decisions and behaviors every day? 

Do you get caught up in and even create drama in your world, shifting your focus on problems and not potential? 

Are you lacking accountability in your life? Is it easier to blame others, then create a life where you feel empowered? 

Are you preoccupied with fearful conspiracy theories and worse case scenarios that keep you from manifesting your best life? 

Are you never satisfied, always thinking there is a better life waiting for you in the future? 

Do you self-sabotage your life because of past mistakes so you never fully engage in today and your life’s potential? 

Do you compare your life experience against others; putting your attention on other people’s stories? 

Are you always wanting, seeking, jumping around to the next shiny thing? This behavior can take you from feeling a deep connection and purposeful life. 

Is your self-awareness lacking? Do you take everything personally and believe everything is happening to you, instead of fully engaging in co-creating your life with the universe. 

Wrapping it Up 

Living a life free of distractions is not a green light to just give up; far from it. When you have clarity about what you truly want in life it will be easy to set boundaries and make decisions that keep you empowered and feeling successful. 

With the goal of keeping this concept simple, and not a distraction, allow your boundaries to help you stay focused. When you begin drifting into areas that are diffusing your energy, you will bump into preset boundaries. 

For example, most of us use a smartphone, iPad, or computer for entertainment. This can fit perfectly into a life with fewer distractions, simply set an alarm before you sit down with your phone for mindless entertainment. This is the perfect reset back to your intentional, empowered life.
