When you feel the urge to do something destructive, what do you do to fight it? Do you read a book? Knit something or crochet? Do you message someone on Facebook and have a good ol' catch up? Maybe you bake! I personally try to take a nap or watch something on my computer.
All these things have one thing in common: They are distraction techniques. And I know that when I'm going the right way for a slip, that distraction can help to ease the urge until it passes.
Here are some ways to distract yourself:
- Read a book
- Draw something
- Play solitaire
- Text a friend
- Walk the dog
- Play with your cats
- Clean your room
- Do the ironing (your mum or dad will be delighted)
- Start a vegetable patch
- Bake a cake,
- Learn a new language,
- Take a hot bath with candles and bath salts
- Cook a nice dinner
- Look up funny pictures on Pinterest
- Download a movie and watch it
- Go shopping with a friend
- Spend time with your family.
- Dance
- Sing as loud as you can.
