Lesson Overview

3.7 – Distraction Techniques That Help, Not Harm: Healthy distractions give your mind space to cool down without avoiding your emotions completely. They work best when you’re overwhelmed and need a break. You can watch a show, clean a space, color, or play a simple game. The goal is to lower intensity, not ignore your feelings forever. After calming down, you can return to what’s bothering you with clearer thinking. Unhealthy distraction hides problems; healthy distraction gives you breathing room. It’s about balance—time to rest your brain before facing what’s real. Using helpful distractions often prevents regretful choices. It’s a tool of emotional pacing, not avoidance.
