A 3-Step Process To Beat Distractions In 3 Minutes

Distractions are urges that divert our attention from the things that require our focus.

If we are going to manage distractions, we have to figure out healthy ways to deal with the internal triggers in our heads. The triggers that cause thoughts which produce distracting emotions.

When we are about to sit down for a period of serious and productive work, all of a sudden we experience unpleasant emotions. Feelings of loneliness, fatigue, and boredom are most common when you need your brain to focus on work.

How do we deal with these uncomfortable sensations?

According to psychologists, we can either  fix the problem or we can find ways to learn how to cope.

Overcome Distractions By First Giving In To Them

Here is a simple 3-step process to beat distractions:

1. Start by noting the sensation.

Give the emotions you are experiencing a name. Psychologists say that by giving an internal trigger a name, we begin to assert control over it.

      2. Next, get curious about the sensation (click HERE).

Don’t ignore the emotions. Get curious about why you are feeling bored with work, or wanting to escape the discomfort or fatigue.

     3. Finally, use a technique called surfing the urge.

Imagine you’re on a surfboard riding that wave of emotional discomfort until it swells and passes.

Allow yourself the experience the distraction but set yourself a timer. Give yourself three minutes and allow yourself to feel any distraction.

Set the timer and within three minutes, go through noting the sensation, get curious about it and surf the urge.

You will discover that 90% of the time, by the end of three minutes, you would have forgotten the original distraction and now you can resume work with stricter focus (click HERE).
