In the words of my wise uncle, who also happens to be my Godfather,
“It’s good to have creative venues to sink your brain into and keep it focused
on tangible goals rather than on the emotional turmoil that surround you. This makes it less likely those
turmoil’s will overwhelm you.”
Couldn’t agree with my uncle more! Though it’s oft a challenge to poke one’s head
above the surface to gasp a cleansing breath in the midst of turmoil, doing so
allows that individual to put things into perspective. Redirect their focus towards other
things, so as not to obsess on the stress. It also provides a path on which the person can move forward
rather than spinning out of control.
My uncle went on to add, “A good diversion is not only powerful
but also an empowering tool.”
Again, wise words that I agree with wholeheartedly. Diverting our attention from obsessing
on our woes allows us to objectively see things in their actual light rather
than how we’re being affected by them emotionally. Doing so empowers us to take the necessary steps to
eradicate whatever our struggles are towards a more positive outcome.
So, whenever life grabs you by the horns and attempts to
steer you into the ground, fight to pull free, if only for a moment or two, in
order that you might see things more clearly, redirect your focus and become
empowered by your decision to take control.
