One step closer to being a monk 😆

For me, cutting off my hair is a way of cutting away distractions 🤔I'm the type of guy that needs to cut down on distractions, and I have been as long as I can remember.

For any of you that knew me as a younger kid, you know Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder was an understated description. Distractions were everything, and everywhere. Today, I still have just as much, if not more scattered energy, but now I have the tools to harness and steer it.

My tools for the job?

They are: my “why”, mindfulness, physical exertion, and the realization that I’m going to die.

My “why” dictates what I am going to do on this earth.
Mindfulness helps me declutter the overwhelming amount of thoughts and ideas of what I could be doing. It helps me see what is distraction and what is meaningful.
Physical exertion brings me a mental/emotional calmness that can’t be replicated with any other modality.
Knowing that I’m going to die, and that I don’t know when, creates the urgency.

Action items: Think about why you do the things you do daily. Do they make sense? If after reflection, you notice that some of the things you do daily are counter to what you truly want most in life, then it’s time to make a change.
