Cara kamu distract "bad thought" itu gimana?

Go to the gym every Weekend it would help me so much to release some stress and bad thought soalnya kecapean kan dan malemnya langsung tidur.

nonton youtube yang lucu kayak running man funny moments atau re-reas wattpad/au yang happy ending.

Biasanya itu aku bakal ajal ngobrol siapapun, atau paling engga aku ngoceh banyaaak bangett di priv huhu aneh ya? Tapi menurutku itu sangat membantu. Kalo yang bener bener udah gabisa kedistract dengan cara itu, biasanya aku nangis sih :<

process it either by writing or talking to myself. play some instruments. reminding myself that i know that this will pass and whatever i'm thinking and feeling is just temporary

Depends what kind of bad thought is it? If it's that type of intrusive thoughts then you should just talk to someone via chat or phone just to keep your mind busy. But if it's more dark and much more serious than that, you should take a deep breath and try to be mindful of your surrounding. Try to recall what happens today, all the small things. Maybe try to take a bath or go for a walk in a green park where you're surrounded with nature might helps.

I try to distract by listening to music, watching a movie, or scribbling on a piece of paper.

After getting this question, I'm even more convinced that some people choose to distract themselves from bad thoughts rather than finding a way out of it. I prefer to talk to someone I trust who can offer a different perspective or thought, so that I can fight my bad thoughts and find a solution. Cuz not everything can be resolved by distracting ourselves repeatedly, but rather we need to know how to deal with it.

Talking to your lover one, playing a game, or maybe do a walk or going somewhere that can make you feel safe.
