I Don't Want to Live a Distracted Life
Releasing the Fixation on Becoming-Unlearning the Rush, Honoring the Rhythm, and Letting Self-Trust Lead the Way.
🎶 Featured Song & Lyrics from: “Let the Light In” by Forefader
Section 1: The Hidden Cost of Distraction
Distraction doesn’t always look like doom-scrolling or drowning in notifications. Sometimes it wears a spiritual disguise. We think we’re “doing the work,” staying on top of our healing, learning the lessons—but underneath it all, we’re still performing. Still fixating. Still looking for proof that we’re finally enough.
And often, that fixation is rooted in the oldest wound of all: “If I just fix this... maybe I’ll finally be loved the way I needed.” “If I heal fast enough... maybe I’ll finally be seen.”
Even in healing, we can stay tethered to trauma—so tightly bound to our past that we forget how to be fully present. We become obsessed with the blueprint of becoming, while ignoring the miracle of simply being. It’s a quieter kind of distraction, but it’s just as costly. Because presence is where our power lives. And the more distracted we are, the easier it is to forget that we are already whole.
“Little flower, time to open
Time to blossom, to awaken
Hold your power, be unbroken
Let the light in
Let the light in”
Section 2: Healing as Returning to Presence
Distraction is deeper than social media, partying, meeting deadlines, fulfilling obligations, and HEALING. Distraction is anything that keeps us from being fully present with our soul.
And sometimes, even healing becomes the distraction.
When we’ve been told—through trauma, silence, or rejection—that we’re broken… We can turn healing into proof. Proof that we’re worthy now. Proof that we’re finally “good enough.” Proof that we’ve outgrown the version of us no one protected.
And while healing is sacred, it can become another survival loop when we’re not careful. Another way to “fix” ourselves instead of loving ourselves. Another version of control masked as self-care. Another way to say: “I can’t be fully present until I’m fully healed.”
But what if the healing was always in the presence?
What if sitting with yourself—messy, imperfect, tender—was the medicine?
Because presence isn’t just sitting still or meditating on a mat—it’s savoring the subtle. It’s when you look up and actually see the sky. When you notice the way the light dances through your window. When your body whispers, “Let’s rest,” and for once, you listen. When you stretch and realize, “I’m here. I made it to this moment.”
It’s less about perfection and more about permission. To pause. To breathe. To let life speak without rushing to respond. To hear your soul without interrupting her.
Presence is when you stop trying to become—and start practicing emotional intelligence and intuitive self-awareness instead. Through emotional intelligence and intuitive self-awareness, presence now becomes a tool— allowing yourself to be. It’s when the nervous system begins to exhale. When you no longer need a “sign” because your intuition is finally loud enough to guide you. When you no longer chase timelines because you’ve realized the miracle is already unfolding.
Presence makes the mundane magical. It slows time. It softens your edges. It reminds you that even now—especially now—you are part of something divine.
But distraction can wear many masks. Even the “spiritual” can become a distraction.
We chase signs, synchronicities, card pulls, and future predictions, often confusing intuition with fear—forgetting that true applied intuition begins in self-awareness… Not always because we’re aligned— But because we’re afraid.
Afraid that if we don’t keep looking for reassurance, We’ll miss our moment. Miss our miracle. Miss the love or breakthrough we’re still secretly afraid we’ll never receive.
Here’s the quiet truth no one tells you: You can be deeply “spiritual” and still be disconnected from presence.
You can chase alignment with such intensity that you forget to actually embody it. You can be so busy healing what was broken that you miss who you’re becoming. You can be so focused on the future that you don’t realize you’re still living in survival—just with prettier language.
“Rip the roots that quickly creep
Stealing the wonder that waters dreams
Gradually the weeds deplete you of the knowing
You are The One”
But here’s what’s even more sacred—
Presence births trust.
Because eventually, you no longer need constant signs, constant validation, or constant reassurance… Your intuition becomes loud enough to hear—because emotional intelligence and self-awareness have finally made space for it. And even more than that—you finally trust it.
Not because it suddenly appeared, But because you finally cleared enough noise to recognize— It was always there.
In the beginning, we chase signs, psychics, predictions, and timelines because we haven’t yet learned how to hear our own soul clearly. We’re still healing the part of us that fears the unseen, mistrusts the unknown, and doubts the voice that whispers from within.
But the real shift happens when you say, “I am the sign. I am the sacred knowing I was waiting for.”
That’s when you stop outsourcing your power. That’s when you stop needing to be told— And start listening to the guidance that’s been whispering to you all along. That’s presence.
Section 3: The Practice of Sacred Noticing
Presence doesn’t always speak loudly. Sometimes it whispers. Soft as steam rising from your tea. Quiet as moonlight painting shadows on your floor. Simple as the moment your chest rises—and you realize you’re still here.
This is sacred noticing.
It’s the moment you place your hand on your heart and feel it beating. The way your spirit softens when you light a candle and the flame flickers back at you. It’s how you pause in the middle of your day to stretch, to yawn, to feel. Not because it’s on a to-do list, but because you’re letting life move through you.
Sacred noticing is a practice of presence, emotional intelligence, and intuitive living. It reminds you that magic is not a destination—it’s a frequency. One that you can tune into when you slow down enough to listen. One that shows up in the smallest details… and waits patiently for your attention.
“Sweetness, Dear One
I remember when you were young
Such a small seed
You could barely breathe
Careful, my sweet
Tend to the soil beneath your feet
We await you patiently”
It’s when your intuition nudges you gently instead of shouting. When a lyric in a song lands on your chest like it was written just for you. When the sky turns pink, and for the first time in days, you actually look up.
You don’t need a perfect life to notice the sacred. You just need a willing heart.
Because sometimes, the most divine moments are the ones we almost missed:
The silence after you say what you really mean.
The peace that meets you when you stop explaining yourself.
The deep exhale that says, “This is enough. I am enough. Right here.”
This is presence in motion. This is the holy art of noticing. And it is yours to practice… every single day.
Section 4: A Call to Presence
I give myself permission to be present. To release the loop. To breathe into now. To stop rushing the moment I prayed for. To feel joy in the middle of the becoming.
I give myself permission to trust what’s unfolding— Even if it doesn’t move as fast as my fear would like. Even if it looks nothing like what I expected. Even if no one else understands it yet.
Because I understand it. And I’m choosing to stand with myself—right here. In the now. In the knowing. In the becoming.
“Little flower, it’s time to lead
Time to decide who you’re gonna be
Know your power, know your peace
You must know
You are The One”“It’s not the laws, the authorities
It’s not the mystics, the monks, and the priests
Not the scholars, the celebrities
Sweet love, they are not The One”
I don’t want to live a distracted life. I want to live a soul-present one.
And this breath… is where it begins.
With sacred presence + intuitive trust,
