Well, I try not to distract myself so much as redirect. Meaning, I do an activity not with the express intention of not having particular thoughts. I play video games, read books, play guitar, exercise, and meditate!

@Ben84 Rubix cubes are extremely fun! Though they sometimes give me a brain cramp and can upset me when I donāt solve them immediately, I recommend :)

If I can get my butt out the door I go swimming. I just go all out and then I sleep a lot better too. I also watch anime and read and play video games. I also like drawing and playing musical instruments. I think learning about different cultures is also cool. That always gets me outside of myself a little bit. Walking is good too. If you have a dog thatās an added benefit!

I love to sew. It gives me strength to fight OCD and balances my brain. I also love going for walks, playing and instrument, reading, gardening, and of course, snuggling my doggo. (He sends you snuggles for the next time you could use them if you like them.)

I do the same as Carl where I donāt distract but redirect, but I watch anime, play video games, watch an absurd amount of tiktoks, and hang out with friends (even if it has to be in zoom for now lol)
