- To distract; to occupy or draw attention elsewhere.

What are you trying to preoccupy your mind with?
I like to throw myself into something- hello soccer... hello yoga... but at what point does that mean shutting down somewhere else? Becoming so preoccupied that we lose sight of the big picture?
At what point does that mean getting so caught up in what someone said to us that we lose the ability to move on with our day?

For me, it is about focusing on trying to calm my mind. Each day there is a constant stream of requests, demands, needs...phone calls, texts, emails...etc...
I am trying to do a better job of being in the moment, rather than thinking of what I need to do next. It is a challenge for me because I am used to having multiple things in play. But the more I work at it, the more I am craving the inner peace I find in focus.
I came across an article (http://abcnews.go.com/US/meditation-wiring-brain-happiness/story?id=14180253) about research that indicates you can rewire your brain through meditation. Happier, less stressed, nicer to other people...I think we could all use more of that.
