    The Distractor – “I shift your focus to the unimportant.”

    When The Drunk Monkey is playing the role of The Distractor it pulls your attention away from what you really desire.  No matter what you want to work on, it finds a way to shift your focus, and invest energy into thoughts, ideas and actions into things that aren’t really important to you.

    Have you ever felt like you never get to do the things you want to do? This is The Distractor at work. It is a master at making you think that you need to do all the little actions in your business and your life. It says you have to do it all, and it keeps you where you are. It convinces you that things that aren’t important are in fact emergencies that need to be handled now, right when you start working on something that is truly meaningful to you.

    Watch this little kid in your head distracting your focus, and robbing you of working on and doing the things that you truly love.
