Distraction

Another technique that you can use to control anxiety due to negative thoughts
is through the use of distraction. This technique is useful when you find yourself
becoming anxious or distressed in a particular situation. If, for example, you begin
to feel anxious while on a bus because you are worried that others can see your
psoriasis lesions, then you may use distraction as a means to help divert your
attention from the anxiety-provoking thought. There are several ways that this
can be done.
