What is Distraction? Why do we get Distracted?

  1. Distraction is the instability of one's mind. Even if you feel the sensation to do something different rather than your work or study. That feeling can also be termed as a distraction.
  2. We choose distraction. Amazed, huh?
  • A trigger comes from the sorroundings which tells your mind to diverge & then comes a small interval of time, in which we are needed to make a decision on whether or not to get distracted. Then, we unconsciously choose to get distracted.

Yes, we choose the distraction

"Until you change the unconscious to conscious, distraction will direct your life & you will call it fate.
