Distraction is great. I think surviving the horror movie experience can be a bit empowering. I go through phases where I am very much into that type of experience. I sometime like to get the adrenaline flowing. Right now though I have taken up knitting, because it gives me something to focus on. Sometimes I listen to an audiobook while I am doing it. I think it is important to just get distracted though. I don't know about you but if I am not doing something I will get into a funk.
