Ways to distract your mind

Posted on August 24, 2021November 4, 2021 by changinglanes

It is a good idea to have a go-to list of distractions to turn to when you need a break from everyday trials and tribulations. Here are some suggestions from our experts on how to distract your mind in an enjoyable way.

The key thing is that it has to be something that you enjoy and will keep you entertained for at least 5 minutes. The following are ways in which people find entertaining distractions.

Do some doodles on paper – this is a great short distraction technique. Let your mind wander and see what comes out on the paper. The results may tell you a few things too!

Do not watch TV or go on Instagram if you are feeling stressed. This could add to your stress, for example if you see a harrowing news story, or social media makes you feel bad. Instead, why not try some online games? I don’t mean online games with your kids, playing stressful fighting games. I mean some really fun, web based retro games. Online games on Plays.org will take you back to your childhood in seconds. Check out this Tetris inspired game – I have just been playing on it for more than 40 minutes! Its addictive – but the best thing is that its all on a website, nothing to download, and nothing to sign up for.

There are also some fun games reminiscent of Crossy Road – these games are great for clearing your mind as you have to concentrate hard to get across that road!!

Another fantastic game which is perfect for relieving stress, is this maze game. There are lots of maze games on the site, and all are worth a play. This one is great as it really tests your mind, and challenges you. This is important when you are trying to distract yourself from something, as you need to really forget about it properly; even if its just for a short time.

Meditate for a few minutes

Meditation is a practice of clearing the mind of conscious thoughts and mental activity. It is believed that meditation can bring peace to an individual. People practice different methods of meditation. Some people meditate by sitting in silence, concentrating on their breath; others use mantras or guided imagery; some people create music or art. There are many benefits of meditation, such as improved focus, alleviation of anxiety and depression, better sleep quality and decreased inflammation levels.

The practice of meditation is often associated with spirituality and has been practiced by various religions and cultures. This technique can be used to reach a higher state of consciousness and to help maintain mental balance. Meditation helps you learn how to regulate your breathing, heart rate, and blood pressure. It also improves your ability to focus on the tasks at hand.

With all of these benefits, it is no wonder that people are turning more towards meditation as a way to achieve more balance in their lives.
