When I deal with any young client in my clinic with low or under achievement , one pertinent issue raises invariably about one's distractions. Now a days there are many more sources of distractions than our times when we were young. There was no telephone even ever house , no idiot box(TV) , no mobile ,no malls to visit etc.. The modern youth is exposed to many more sources of distractions including attraction and deep involvement with opposite gender. I am not a conservative person but if these all are at the cost of achievement and goal directedness then I suggest such youths to separate themselves from such distractions. The fact is that if we don't separate ourselves from distractions then they will separate us from our goals and the life we want. Every youth and their parents must understand that spending more than 2 to 3 hours on mobile or TV or computer aimlessly then it is screen addiction which requires serious consideration and rehabilitation through counseling and/or antipsychotic treatment. I remember one young client who remained awake whole the night talking or chatting with his so called depressed girlfriend feeling that he is providing emotional support to her . The fact was that he was coming into the grip of depression and screen addiction. I had a very difficult time to get him rid of his this addiction with a wrongly perceived emotional support to his girlfriend. One can never help anyone emotionally until unless he himself is emotionally strong. We all shall remain emotionally self-aware about this type of risk which can take us away from our goal of life or sometimes the life itself.
So TRAIN YOUR MIND to remain in positive orientation of separating yourself from any sort of distractions which can separate you from your goals and the life you want.
So enjoy days always ahead in true love for mindful goal directedness in your life.
