P. 41

E = Emotions
When you distract with emotions you do something that creates a new emotion. Then you focus on that emotion instead of your distress. If you feel angry, pick an activity that helps you feel calm. If you feel sad, pick an activity that helps you feel happy.
Check the ways to create emotions you could try. Write in your own. □ Watch a funny movie
□ Read a joke book
□ Listen to a happy song
□ Listen to a slow song
□ Remember a fun time

P = Push away
Push away means you decide to not focus on the crisis right now. You can push away by walking away from others or leaving a room. Come back when you are in Wise Mind.
Try not to push away distress for too long. It is important to come back to the situation so that you can cope with it.
