I'm currently trialing two new distraction techniques.
1) Colour finding
2) Word puzzles
Colour finding involves me picking a colour at random and then trying to picture how I could make it up in openCavas4. Where to slip the slidebar, how far into gray, dark or light... and then visualise how I go about achieveing the effect, what brushes and so forth. It works for a short period of time and only with minor anxiety... It won't stop the car-crash effect or even the weak-feeling but it doesn't give me the chance to plan an escape route... so I can use it while waiting in line, or anywhere I need to be for only a very short period of time.
Word puzzles, well... I bought a cheap newsagent book of word finds ^_~. If I have to wait somewhere, or am waiting to go out I can whip this thing out and highlighter myself into distraction. Once again, it doesn't combat the effects of anxiety, only my ability to plan an escape. And as many would argue, the anxiety is only danergous when it interfears in day-to-day activities. I can feel like a bug on the windshield of a NASA spaceshuttle, but as long as I don't act on it it's like it doesn't exist.
Yeah, I'll just keep telling myselt that :P.
Ooooh, to remember how to feel bored with shopping... oh happy days :P. Being bored in a shopping centre is my idea of heaven, you lucky people :P.
Why couldn't it have been snakes... |
