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.
They look at me and think I'm cool, I'm purplefan at night I rule.

A little exercise. While you are walking or running or swimming you can sort things out in your head. Great help to me.
Yep colouring books while listening to classical music, going for a short walk helps too.Originally Posted by Chihuahua Mum

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!
Distractions has been a big help for me, figure keeping my mind occupied with a task or a interest has helped keep me sane.. few of mine are:
-gardening / growing foods
-reading
-playstation
-photography
-trying new hobbies...
Gardening (this is great for long summer sunny days)
DIY (nothing like using your hands to make or repair stuff)
Gaming PS Vita, PSP or 3DS (tend to fall asleep while playing these days)
Walking (fairly short lived effect)
Jigsaws (did these years ago only recently started again)
