Distraction, distraction, distraction! Everywhere and everything can be considered a distraction if what we want to be focusing on is not aligned with what we are putting our energy towards.
If what I say I want and how I'm spending my time does not align, then turmoil will build within me. It's the feeling of misalignment. In my regular life choices, if there is a nagging sense of "I could be making a healthier decision for myself right now," there lies opportunity.
The opportunity in these moments is this: 1) listen to that feeling and make the appropriate change (often it is a habit change) or 2) realize that I am actually okay with my decisions and happy with my life as it is, therefore finding time to meditate the release of the old stored energy that is causing the inner turmoil.
We are constantly faced with a choices.
How to act
How spend our time
What job to work
Career position or shift work
More school or build with what is already there
Happy hour or bike ride
Social life or read
Yoga or walk
What to eat
My work is to act and be in alignment with myself, my desires, my goals, and keep finding/creating the daily joy that is readily available for me.
And also maybe for some, it isn't the actions or choices we make but the perspective we choose to keep. And also our choices and actions... Both are true and both are important! That which we manifest is before us, afterall. (Name that book! Hint: told from a cute & unique perspective)
To boil it down even further, maybe the life we are living right now COULD BE the life we dream to be living, but we're too busy day dreaming for the future and stressing out over all that we aren't doing. Rather, we could be making simple little daily decisions that accumulate to the entirety of what our lifestyle becomes.
Lifestyle is a choice.
Happy day, y'all!

P.S. I rode 35 miles this morning and on my route I had some thoughts that helped me to further understand how this concept of "should" is a limiting factor to the joyful life we could be living. Stepping out of my way and into my light.
