Hey everybody. :wave:

I am writing a blog post about distractions, so I just wanted to ask for your input :thumb:

I know that lots of people have different distractions that help them, and that is fine cos after all we are individual, what I wanted to know is..

What distractions help you personally, and how they help you?

Thank you lots :heart:

" So I say thank you for the music, the songs I'm singing, thanks for all the joy they're bringing, who can live without it, I ask in all honestly what would life be? Without a song or a dance, what are we? So I say thank you for the music, for giving it to me "

    Drawing, makes me forget things as I concentrate fully on the drawing.

    Reading, same reason.

    Going for a walk outside is good, air really helps me to calm down.

    Cooking (healthy) food - because doing something good for myself makes me feel a bit better, it kills time and it gives me something to concentrate on.

    Swimming - just floating away and letting the water guide me

    Walking, for the air and sometimes just sitting in a pretty place just kind of being there not doing anything, not having to think about anything and just taking it in.

    Showers, showers are an amazing help, I make sure I don't take anything dangerous in with me though and generally being able to self sooth, and relax in the shower, but showers have been amazing!
