“I’m being driven to distraction!” Those words are often heard in our driven society. Psychiatrist Dr. Edward Hallowell, in 1994, coined the term, “Attention Deficit trait” to describe those who suffer from this pressure-cooker work world. In his book “Driven to Distraction”, he says that causes for this disorder include addiction to electronic devices, distraction by the problems of others, and idea hopping. Dr. Hallowell says we need to re-train ourselves to periods of intense concentration, then allow the mind to drift. Good advice. The Bible also has good advice about dealing with pressure. The Psalmist wrote, “ Be still and know that I am God.” .”Isaiah assure us that “those who wait on the Lord Shall renew their strength; They shall mount up with wings like eagles, They shall run and not be weary, They shall walk and not faint. “ And Paul tells us that, when we follow these instruction, “the peace of God which surpasses all understanding will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.”
