Book excerpt: Deliberate distraction is recognizing something you cannot do anything about and taking action to do something other than think or worry about it.A word on what deliberate distraction is not. Practicing deliberate distraction won't eliminate problems and it is not permission to ignore things you could do something about. Deliberate distraction is not medical advice or counseling, simply thoughts of a reformed worrier. Or partially reformed. I think worry may be an innate trait we need to learn to manage.Deliberate distraction offers a way to consciously refocus your thinking - if only for a few minutes - so you can feel more even keel as you handle tough events. This book will explain the concepts further and offer suggestions for putting them into practice. And..the book also includes a novella, "Falling Into Place." This heartwarming story may help readers deliberately distract.
