## Distraction Strategies

Distraction strategies are a coping skill that allows you to pause or take a break and avoid focusing on a problem or big feeling. Dealing with anger, fear, sadness, and other big feelings can be difficult. Taking a break can give you time to decrease the intensity of your feelings and allow you to manage them more effectively. Distraction strategies are not about escaping from problem-solving. They are about dealing with situations when you are ready.
