Get Rid Of Distractions

That which is desired in a man is loyalty and kindness [and his glory and delight are his giving]. —Proverbs 19:22

Sometimes you may just need to clear away the clutter so you can clearly see what is worthwhile. Here is a simple suggestion: Don’t keep more than you can take care of. If you have so much junk in your home that it takes you hours to dust it, get rid of something.

Find a big carton and write “Blessing Box” on the side of it. Start putting extra things into it until cleaning is more manageable. Find someone who doesn’t have much and bless them. You will be amazed at how easy it is to start your day right when you are no longer distracted by things you don’t need.

From the book Starting Your Day Right

Love this, it is why I have always had what I call my "Sacred Space" even though I live in a one bedroom apartment. When I sit on that chair, that is my time with my God and a place to look at my issues, take a daily inventory, and look at anything that may have happened in today, especially anything that is rooted in my past.

It is for my quiet time, and about the only thing happening is music, generally music with no words. Words can take me out of where I need to be. It may seem good and a good thing, but it can be a distraction, if I am suppose to be spending what I call God Time.
