Getting Comfortable With Being Uncomfortable

This is a new and fascinating challenge.

Walking my own talk isn’t easy.

Despite being a champion for mindfulness, conscious reality creation, and sharing my Pathwalking philosophy every week — I’m not always good at practicing what I share.

There are all sorts of reasons behind this. Please note — I am making no excuses here. This is an honest evaluation of how I don’t always walk my talk.

I can be easily distracted. I know ADHD is a serious problem, and I have never been diagnosed as such. But I refer to my issue as ADOS — Attention Deficit Ooooooooooo, Shiny!

For example — I’ve now interrupted working on this post to watch the new trailer for Ashoka — 3 times. Like, wow am I excited for this new Star Wars show. But — distraction.

Staying on task is an issue. Another is that I lose track of time scrolling through social media, pausing to check email, and other pointless, wasteful taxes on my focus.

Then — I allow myself to get caught up in the hype for things like Prime Days — hey, I can save money and/or get credit if I be a good consumer and buy — what? Is there something I genuinely need currently, or do I just want to buy because of the hype?
