Counsellor told me this method for distracting oneself.

1. Look around and say 5 things you can see
2. Look for 4 things you can touch
3. 3 things you can hear
4. 2 things you can smell
5. 1 thing you can taste

This is a nice idea in theory but I find when I'm having a "funny" day I can't concentrate at all. I wasn't even listening as she was explaining this so I'm hoping it's correct, it's something along those lines anyway!
