That’s easier said then done I think. Good answers below. My method is to work or take action. If a conflict, I try to face it as soon as possible. If it’s today and feeling just overwhelmed with responsibility I take a 10 minute break and get back to it. If it’s bigger than that I just tend to internalize it and put on my “under control “ mask. Not recommending that.

@trackman11 I distract my mind with books, movies, games. If I get some time I opt for creative hobbies:writing drawing painting origami or learning to make anything interesting with my hands (I like finding alternatives to reuse things.. plus I'm clumsy and it is a cool challenge hahah ) I also like to put a drawer or my clothes in order. Ordering feels nice when you feel chaotic in your mind. One of the best things when emotionally heavy is a big walk. Just think about what I see on the way .. breathe it out.. it helps.

@Busybee333 excellent choices. Your list made me realize I have some of those same things that I enjoy (shorter list due to limited creativity lol). I’m glad you have those distractions.
