Traction & Distraction

We can understand traction as the actions that draw us towards what we want in life.

On the other hand, distractions impede us from progressing towards our envisioned life.

Both traction and distraction are prompted by triggers. These triggers can be internal or external.

These triggers, wether internal or external, result in an action which can be aligned with our broader intention (traction), or misaligned (distraction).

  • Traction helps us accomplish goals.
  • Distraction leads us away from them.
