  • On Guard all the Time?

    On Guard all the Time?
    Jan 13 2025

    The very word "distraction" indicates being taken away from something and led into something less important. When life distracts us, we lose focus on what we thought we wanted to be doing. We are captured by some seductive idea or passtime that sucks up time and attention.
    That's normal, but not a good thing. This episode explores distraction and what you should do about it!
