    Distraction Ideas Thread 2021

    We all know that distraction can really help to get you through a moment - be it from thoughts, SH etc

    What things help you to distract?

    I'll start the ball rolling (like the pun?)

    Crochet - even just a basic granny square pattern tends to work for me...
    Do a little of something that makes you happy every day!

    Cross stitch for me, and reading
    The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well.

    You can read when times are tough? I’m impressed.

    Sounds bad but sleep it the best distraction. When you’re asleep you can’t say on do or think everything bad.

    Fidget toys, diamond 5d picture, music (preferably with headphones). Anything that doesn’t involve a lot of concentration.

    I can, except when things are very, very, very bad. That’s often when I realise I need a lot of help….
