Strike the Right Balancers — Part 5.
A false balance is abomination to the Lord: but a just weight is his delight.
Proverbs 11: 1 (KJV).
The positive power of distraction is enormous. Most times, we spend all the time talking about the adverse effects of distraction. In terms of positive or negative distractions, you need to strike the right balance. Not all distractions are bad for you. No matter positive or negative, all distractions certainly have a price.
Why would nearly everyone on the earth seldom seek some sort of distraction of a kind? They do because it is not all gloom and doom. There are huge benefits, and this depends on the individual and how the distraction is used. Distraction is the process of diverting one’s attraction, meaning they pull one away from more important things. You want your distractions to benefit you by serving you well. You must strike the right balance for it to help you well.
You will be able to cope with the pain of everyday life with some sort of distraction. It is a skill to have the ability to shift focus from negative experiences or events through the aid of valuable distractions. You can control your urges and impulses through the assistance of distractions. Playing certain matching puzzle games like Puzzle Blocks, interlocked, or Candy Crush can help distract you from the stress resulting from a workload.
Staying fit is another benefit of distraction. When I am too occupied with an activity that I am not finding the solution to, I take a break to burn some sweat. As I jogged with my earphone with some incredible music in the background, I meditated and got ideas on handling whatever was weighing me before starting the exercise. I kill two birds with one stone. The exercise is a distraction, but it gives me the solution and keeps me fit and healthy. The exercise is not just an escape break from my routine; it eases my mind and gives me that peace that passes all understanding and guides my mind through Christ Jesus.
Music is a language of emotion in that it can represent different feelings and barge into the soul with no boundaries or limitations. When life becomes busy and complicated, you need a breakthrough distraction to elevate your mood and increase your joy and peace of mind.
