How to Be Distracted for a While

Steps 1Read.Choose a book you love. Maybe a series you like. To further occupy your time, why don't you try a completely new genre? Get recommendations from your friends (with different interests). Or your parents might recommend a book they like and you might also spend the time discussing it. Or be 2Draw.Or doodle. For ideas: Your favorite animal, or your friend. sketch, too. 3Listen to music.How about your favorite song? 4Dance if it is not physical pain.Videotape yourself being goofy and watch it later (it'll be either fun or just plain humiliating - Don't let it fall into someone else's hands). Or just learn new dance moves or make up a choreography to your favourite song. 5Write a story or poem.It can be about your life, or just something you like. Or just write down random words in pieces of paper, randomly pick a few words and write about that. Who knows what the results will be? ('flying pink bananas on holiday', anyone?) 6Take a bath.For a more relaxing bath, go to How to Have a Relaxing Bath(teens and moms). Or you can just belt out songs in the shower, complete with a hairbrush microphone. 7You can talk to or play with a friend. 8Daydream.For instance, I always daydream about meeting Jensen Ackles. Really, a terrific way to spend your time, believe me, especially if you have a vivid imagination. 9Eat.I always eat when I'm bored. It's an excellent and a delicious way to spend the time. Spend more time by actually cooking/baking the food yourself. It's easier than it sounds like. One word of advice - Just watch your weight. 10Exercise.Exercising is good. Exercising is fun (Well not really). Exercise is a completely healthy way to improve your body, mind, and to distract yourself from the internet. (I should really take my own advice) 11Sleep.Sleeping is the best thing in the world. Sleeping will make you much more rested, and it also is needed for you to grow (if your still in the growing age) and to lose your pot belly (It's true, having enough sleep helps you lose your belly and improves your skin). 12Lucid dreaming.If you don't want to just sleep, try lucid dreaming. Why spend your time just sleeping, when you can go to places and do things that you dreamed of (sorry bad pun) while you're sleeping? I met Dumbledore and walked in the sky while lucid dreaming, if that's not awesome I don't know what is. 13Go outside.The outdoors is a wonderful place and wonderful past time, and also helps you to learn about nature. Watch the birds, take a stroll through the park or sit under a tree and write a journal! 14Practice singing songs and writing them.If you are a virtuoso or just a for-fun person, this works best both ways. 15Play board games or computer games.This is one of the old-school tricks to a distraction! Play with your family or friends, or even pets if you're feeling silly. 16Cook food or learn recipes.A benefit from this is you get to make yourself some food to eat! Look online for recipes for cakes, pies, etc. Go out and buy some cooking supplies. 17Go shopping.Look for cute clothes, delicious dishes or glittering gold!
