Busy as Distraction

Busy.  Distracted?

I become distracted by being "busy."  

In the past, I often used "busy" as an excuse to avert my focus from what's harder/scarier: 

My own goals. 

Ah, distraction as a defense mechanism...

Since the start of 2018, I have been living in an "in-between" period.

A transitional space.

So much unknown to keep me busy!

Becoming overly involved in my external environment

Distracted. 

Making connections, yes, but NOT keeping my personal goals close and clear.

I am envisioning:

My heart's goals, my passion's goals as

A solid core 

Surrounded by the details 

(people, places, circumstances, timeline) 

that are

Unknown and flexible

Completely controlled 

By the creativity of the universe

(Not me...lol)

How do I remember?  How do I not get lost in life's details (willingly or unwillingly)?

For me, I talk to friends about my goals (so they can gently hold me accountable).  I write about my goals to instill them in my mind.  I make vision boards.  I try to get specific about where my passion intersects with my needs.  I write lists on my phone to re-read in the few minutes before I go in to work.  I write reminders on my bathroom mirror with dry-erase marker.  I meditate.  I go for walks.  I let there be silence and stillness in my life.  I go to the beach and I speak frankly to the ocean. 

What are some ways you keep your heart's goals in sight?
