There are many distractions all of them external.
Even thoughts and emotions are external.
"Internal" does not mean "within my skull or my body".
There is a point of awareness that observes all that goes on within the skull and the brain and the body.
That point has no "inside". Everything outside of it is external.
There is no "internal".
What does that mean?
It means that there is no "me". "Me" is only a bundle of external thoughts that I identify with.
It is like a school of fish that takes refuge within a bundle of seaweed that has accumulated in a vast ocean.
"Me" is a gravitational vortex that has accumulated enough nebulous gasses and particles to form a planet. A planet that my awareness has gathered together. A sense of something familiar in a vast, unknowable universe.
When I let go of everything external then awareness is free.
And there is no distraction.
