Pleasant and Distracting Activities

Engaging in enjoyable activities is likely to
improve your mood and can help you tolerate
negative emotions (Pressman et al, 2009).

When you notice an urge to engage in a
disordered behaviour, it is important to try to
delay the urge. Delaying is a very important
tactic because if you can delay the urge long
enough, the urge will decrease in intensity
and then pass.
