DISTRACT
What can I do right now to help me focus on something else, instead of my distress?
It’s important to call on your Wise Mind while using ACCEPTS. Distraction can all too easily turn to avoidance. One TV episode meant to take your mind off things can easily turn into a whole season and a day gone. ACCEPTS is meant to escape your present distressing situation for a moment so that you can return to it with a better mindset, meaning in Wise Mind. Taking a moment can kick you out of Emotional Mind or even Rational Mind and help you find that Middle Path.
