Those Pesky Distractions That Keep You from Your Goals

Your goal is to write the book, but you’d rather watch the movie – it is the small foxes that spoil the vine.
Shiny object syndrome (SOS) is a continual state of distraction brought on by an ongoing belief that there is something new worth pursuing.
It often comes at the expense of what's already planned or underway. It's rooted in that childhood phenomenon of always wanting a new toy, even if your current toy is just fine.
Be mindful and self aware of what’s most important to you. Remember your commitment and your reasons – Your Why for having your goals – for going in hard?
Is what you’re distracted by moving your closer to your purpose and your goal, or further away? Figure out what needs to go – eliminate it and refocus on what’s important to you.

Based on the book, "Be Your Future Self Now" by Dr. Benjamin Hardy
