Today I was writing: I had two tabs open -Facebook, and the tab I was writing in. Red alerts repeatedly appeared on top of the blue Facebook banner, so I was distracted by that tab without actually clicking on it and visiting the Facebook page.
Suddenly I had an epiphany: I could close the tab. So I did.
I think sometimes in life, we get distracted by things, and the solution can be as small and easy as closing a tab - and thus, as hard to see, even if it's been there the whole time. This might involve ignoring non-essential yet unpleasing information, limiting contact with certain people, or only focusing on the positive in a certain situation. For example, if my glasses broke, I can focus on the humor and on how lucky I am to have glasses. The "this is so annoying" tab exists, but I am choosing to close it. The trick is to actually remember to do that when you're on your knees searching for a piece of expensive, doctor-prescribed glass.
