The modern world is flooded with distraction. Instead of staying connected with the natural world, lots of us are opting to stay indoors and plugged into technology. What chance do we have of sustaining long periods of inspiration and consciousness if we are living like this? I have been thinking a lot about this lately.

I was reminded of a solution a few days ago: cultivate your environment to how you want to live. If you are distracted by technology, place your devices in part of the house that is inconvenient to get to. If you want to eat healthier foods, don’t bring the junk into the house. If you want to get to the gym in the mornings, get to sleep earlier and have your clothes ready to go.

I can’t think of anything more important than living your best life, even if you are in a slump and have to push really hard to achieve little things.
