Being distracted or zoned out is a life out of touch with yourself and the sacred. 
Do you know anyone who checks out from reality? Once in a while is OK, but too often it is a life pattern. And patterns take us someplace. When things go bad, it is usually more like a steady drip, drip, drip than a cataclysmic event. 
Being more aware of the present moment can be the cure to many of our problems. A guided experience of being aware of your body, thoughts, and moods in this episode shows the alternative to "zoning out."
Jay also shares a scripture that tells the good things we should think about if we want peace!
