Day 13 – Distract Your Mind With Something Fun

[Greeting]

Welcome to day 13 of the Stress Management Challenge! Today, we’re doing a fun 
activity that can also distract your mind even during your most stressed moments. 

There are so many different things that can help you when you get stressed out. You 
can work on breathing exercises and meditation to calm down your mind and relax your 
nervous system. You can boost your endorphins with exercise, you can go out in nature 
for immense emotional healing.

But sometimes what you need is something that gets your mind off what is causing you 
stress entirely. This is when doing something fun and creative, or just keeps your mind 
busy and focused on other things, can help the most.

Think about activities that always distract you. Try not make this a work-related activity 
though, since that can just create all new stress. We don’t want that.

Here are some ideas of what can help distract you for a little bit, but also be enjoyable:

Draw something.
Paint something.
Write a poem or short story.
Do a puzzle.
Play a game on your phone.
Turn on Spotify and sing or dance to the music.
Create new Spotify playlists of your favorite songs.
Read a book.

What you do will depend on your own interests, but just think of what you would find fun, 
that makes you think about something else entirely.

Today in the Workbook: Don’t forget to fill out your pages and follow the journal 
prompts in the workbook.
