Here is a graph of a rocket traveling with a proper acceleration of 1 showing velocity, celerity and rapidity and the diminishing coordinate acceleration.
The area bounded by the Coordinate Acceleration is the velocity while the area bounded by the velocity is the total distance traveled. The rapidity (because the proper acceleration is 1) also shows the proper time for an observer in the rocket.
