Distraction Decoder
Break free from distraction by building awareness when you drift.
Every distraction points to something deeper: a feeling, a need, a moment of truth.
Use this sheet to trace it back and meet the parts of you that are calling for attention :).
In order for the tool to work you need to be ready to own these 3 things:
1 – Your intentions. A distraction is only a distraction if you’re aware of what it’s distracting you from. I encourage you to write down any goals for the day first thing in the morning and block time off on your calendar, so you’re clear on what you’d like to focus on and can see when a distraction is taking place.
2 – Your triggers. A trigger is any stimulus that provokes a part of us that’s experiencing past pain or threat of pain in the present moment. So what is it you’re avoiding experiencing in the moment you reach for distraction? Are you open to bringing curiosity to that part of yourself?
3 – Your emotions. If we don’t build the capacity to be present with and integrate uncomfortable feelings, we’ll always reach for quick fixes to soothe our pain. I invite you to bring a sense of curiosity and openness to the physical sensations and internal chatter that arises when distraction is whispering your name.
