Are You Identifying With the Avoidance, With the Distraction?

Forgetting is a interesting defense, right? Because we all do it. So that's a way of us engaging in a defense without self-awareness. Rather than being curious, why is it that I can't seem to remember the really important things that somebody asked of me at the grocery store? There's a good chance that you're allowing distraction and distractibility to be part of the whole process. But you have to really approach your own defense system of distraction and not actually being present to begin with.
