How to manage distraction
We tend to get distracted by what’s going on inside of us rather than by what is going on around us. An internal trigger is an uncomfortable emotion we want to escape and the reason for going off track.

Journaling to improve focus
A study found that journaling is a valuable tool for managing stress and anxiety. Journaling diminishes avoidant thoughts about negative events and may free the mind up for other mental activities.
If you feel anxious about something in your life, it is more helpful to befriend it than avoid it. Journaling about the discomfort can help keep it in check.
Every morning, write about your internal triggers and frustration. Exploring your negative feelings with curiosity can help to give you peace of mind.
