YOGIC PSYCHOLOGY

Patanjali described these obstacles as follows:

1.30: Vyadhi styana samsaya 
pramada-alasya-avirati bhrantidarsana-alabdha-bhumikatva
anavasthitatvani citta-vikshepah te antarayah

Vyadhi – Disease
Styana – Languor, mental dullness, apathy
Samsaya – Doubt
Pramada – Carelessness, haste, indifference
Alasya – Laziness, sloth
Avirati – Absence of non-attachment, sensuality
Bhrantidarsana – False perception, blindness
Alabdha–bhumikatva – Not attaining the destination or stage, lack of determination
Anavasthitatvani – Instability, not retaining the condition

They are the obstacles that distract the mind.

In the modern context, we can add two more to the list:
fear of missing out (FOMO),
and digital distraction.
