Distraction Techniques

[magie06]

I use crafts as my destraction. It can be photos, knitting, sewing, glueing and decopage. I can spend weeks on different projects,, and usually have 3 or 4 projects at a time. I can even spend a night colouring in my little ones colouring with her.

Music is a big distraction for me, although after seeing my CBT therapist, she is trying to stop me using distraction techniques and going down the route on exposure therapy to help with my anxiety.

first thing in the morning i put spotify on. once i'm out of bed it's either more music or singing. i hardly stop singing to myself at work. my colleagues think me strange but it's all that gets me through

I like house work. I find if you do a couple of hours on the hoover or washing, it really helps to pass the day. I also like music.
(i have to admit i was listening to i want to break free and yes i did do the dance with the hoover

The big question is what were you wearing!

Perhaps that's why I spend so much time gaming, what if its helping me rather than "wasting" my time.

Distraction is a technique to come out of the negative mood if you are upset of something. I like to do some of the artistic work that help me to come out of distraction.

Little meditation...but that's can be hard.

It took me a long time to be able to focus my mind. I have to admit it has been a huge help for me to relax at night before i go to bed.
it is well worth the effort.
