I couldn't deal with the pains of the sounds around me very early on in the day, no matter what I did - meditate, pray, workout, breath - I was thoroughly distracted and upset. I turned to work to drown everything out. 
You would think that is a good/productive thing, but I can go on with work until I am too tired to do anything else. Which makes me even more angry. Work starts off as my saving grace but easily becomes my addiction/obsession and distraction away from my Lent intention and purpose.
It can be work, it can be family obligations, it can be a multitude of responsibilities and even emotions that stops us from deciding on doing a long haul spiritual practice like Lent.
What is it that you feel is your distractions and addictions that keeps you where you are?
