Constructive Distraction
I feel led to share this experience. I hope it helps someone.
One day I was making cake batter. My eldest grandson came to me and asked me if I was going to bake and I responded that I was just freezing them for now. He then asked me what was bothering me. I responded by asking him why he asked me that. He replied, "when you have writer's block, you garden. When you have a work problem, you make cement pots. And when something is bothering you, you make cakes and freeze them."
I thought about it and realised that he was absolutely correct. Not being someone given to games and mind numbing zoning out, I have found that temporarily distracting myself from the problem, but still engaging my mind, or my hands, help me to find clarity. I call this a constructive distraction.
Do you find that your hobbies help you in this way? Does anyone else have a version of Constructive Distraction that you would like to share? How does your version of Constructive Distraction help you to achieve clarity?
