Published: Sept. 10, 2019, 9 a.m.

Technology has probably improved your life in so many ways, while simultaneously causing you to be constantly distracted by \u201cshiny things\u201d.\xa0Facebook, instagram, youtube, are all black holes which are easy to fall into, in place of doing what is meaningful to you. If you think about it, everytime you get sucked into one of these black holes, you block yourself from working on the things that will help you achieve your dreams.\xa0

Yet it\u2019s not easy to stay focused on what is meaningful in your life when you live in an era of constant distraction that goes beyond technology but even life itself, with things constantly happening that are beyond our control: illness, work, relationships.\xa0\xa0
\xa0What\u2019s important is to realize that while we can\u2019t control what happens, we can control what we do, with the goal of affecting the way things turn out.\xa0

For women especially, we seem to have hundreds of things to do and relationships to juggle. It\u2019s important to learn how to be present and maintain focus to allocate time and energy for our dreams, and ourselves. Nir Eyal joins me today on Stellar Life to discuss the research that he\u2019s done on behavior and the age of distraction we currently live in, and he shares life-changing advice on how you can take back control of your life and become indistractable.
