Hi, Ryath, and welcome to Psych Central! I use distraction, but I also try to find things that are soothing to my body--like a warm bath or shower, petting the cat (softness), pleasant smells, or listening to relaxing music. Or I try to read a fascinating book or find something I have enjoyed in the past. Even getting out with friends can help me feel better. Folks also say exercise can help, but I am a lazy soul.

Hope something I said helps.
