Are you trapped in a distraction loop without even realising it? If you're aimlessly scrolling on social media for hours when you should be working on tasks that actually move your business forward, welcome, you've entered the distraction loop. 

You're probably telling yourself that you just need to be more disciplined. I'm sorry to tell you this (actually I'm not, I'm here to call you out) you don't have a discipline issue. You're trapped in a distraction loop, and I'm going to teach you how to break free.

First, I'll tell you what a distraction loop is, why we tend to fall into it, what subconscious beliefs keep you in the distraction loop, and then I'll share with you my favourite subconscious tools that you can use every time you find yourself slipping into the same cycle. So grab your tea, get comfortable, and get ready to say goodbye to the distraction loop!



Topics covered on Distraction Loop:

  1. What is a distraction loop, and why do you keep falling into it?
  2. How does your subconscious protect you with distractions?
  3. What is the busyness equals worthiness trap, and how can you escape it?
  4. How can you create safety in stillness and trust yourself more?
  5. What is the 90-second reset rule, and how can it help regain focus?
