The Deafening Roar Of A Jet2.com Plane

Over here in the UK we are experiencing some wonderful weather (if we get a good spell of 3 or 4 days we are doing awesome!) so like any sensible nation we take immediate advantage of this and get out the old BBQ and invite a few friends round .
We have some friends who live several miles away and they invited us round on Saturday night so off we went looking forward to the usual feast Lorraine cooks (she is an exceptional cook and John an exceptional host).
We were all sitting out in the garden enjoying the evening, when right out of the peace roared a 747 (oops, I completely forgot that the airplanes would be going right over).
John and Lorraine live within 200 yards of the end of the runway so, to say the planes are low when they fly over is a bit of an understatement (see the picture we took) and being a Saturday evening all the flights from Spain and Europe were coming in thick and fast.
As the planes were roaring over I made an observation ……..
…….It is almost impossible to concentrate or think of anything else whilst a deafening roar is distracting you and it is impossible to 'listen'. Your mind gets completely controlled by this roaring intrusion.
So, just relate this to yourself and your online business. How can you ever expect to concentrate and focus with a laser like precision when you are allowing yourself to be constantly distracted by irrelevant nonsense?
It's impossible!……………
In order to manage your valuable time you need to master managing your mind and your concentration.
I am not talking about the roar being a jet plane because we all have many different noises and distractions, just think about them….. thoughts not related to what we are supposed to be concentrating on, other people trying to get our attention, tv, radio,
Learning to concentrate
- Stop trying to do more than 1 thing at once – concentrate on the task in hand. You will be amazed at how much quicker it gets done when you concentrate.
- Learn to control and quieten your thoughts so no more distraction comes from them
- Learn to keep yourself focussed so set out your goals and objectives before you start
- Do not spend too long on any one task because when boredom sets in so does distraction
- Stop checking your email and phone messages every 10 minutes. Do this just once or twice a day
- Position yourself away from distraction, turn off the phone and close the door
- Practice the art of meditation and unleash the raw power of your subconcious mind
- Keep physically fit and well we need to be functioning well on every level – body mind and spirit.
- Take time out to rest
Learning to listen
Learning to listen is a great skill and learning to listen to your subconcious is the most important way to develop your intuition. With the constant 'chatter' of the concious mind the whisper like messages from the subconcious get missed and lost. Our intuitive skills need developing so we learn to rely on ourselves to make good decisions. We have to learn to recognise what feels 'right' for us and act on this.
The subconcious does not rely on 'learned' reactions and old behaviour patterns it relies on a finely honed nervous system feeding back to us what is right and safe.
Over the centuries as humans we have been weaned away from self reliance to a state of almost complete reliance on outside forces to guide us. The governments, schools, society all tell us what is 'best' for us and make decisions on our behalf under the guise of it being in our best interests.
But, only when we take a concious decision to reclaim our power and sense of responsiblity do we truly begin to grow into the beings we are meant to be. The subconcious mind is the gatekeeper to our inner guide which guides us to fulfill our purpose and place. It is not a language of words but a system of feelings, emotions and gut instincts and it can only be heard when the innane chatter of the concious mind is stilled and controlled.
So, stop allowing the 'roar' of the airplane engine to control your mind - accept the responsibility of your mind, thoughts and emotions as yours and put your life on track to where it is meant to be.
How do you block out the 'noise'? Tell me below in the comments box….

Being a Pilot, seriously,i dont think it would bother me at all,as flying is in my blood!!!!!!! So,i guess I am against the grain!!!!LOL,,,,Jack And Congrats again!!!!!!!!!!
Great article on a very interesting and important subject. I can't describe exactly how I do it but I generally don't have any problems blocking out disturbing noises, unlike many others. I was fortunate to learn how to master and take control of my mind, thoughts and emotions from my parents. I find this ability to be extremely helpful in my business as well as in my daily life.
I once spent a few days at a hotel "very" close to Manchester airport (a few 100 meters from the landing strip) and so I can easily relate to the massive noise of the 747:s coming in every 2-3 minutes, that you describe…. :)) People manage to live close to airports, train tracks etc – because they have taken control of their minds, and don't hear the sound any longer. There are stories that say that it is more disturbing for people who live close to a railway track, when the train is not on schedule.:))

You're absolutely right, there's so many different things today vying for our attention. We have also been programmed to not want to block any of it out, because then we might miss something important. I often wonder how people every got any work done 20+ years ago without all the advantages we have today of communication, but that was the point, with less distraction and longer lapses in between communication people had to be more reliable upon themselves to make the best decisions.
