Teaching Adults to Deal with Discomfort and Distraction

Teaching adults to confront discomfort involves understanding that it is essential to face challenges rather than avoid them or expect others to solve problems. Distraction is explained as actions that deviate attention from intended goals, with traction being actions aligning with goals. It is emphasized that any action can be classified as traction or distraction based on whether it furthers or hinders progress towards personal values and goals. The example of getting sidetracked by seemingly productive tasks like checking emails instead of focusing on important work illustrates the subtlety of distractions that can lead individuals away from their intended path.
