Distraction technique can also be a very useful technique to divert your anxiety. In simplest form, you can take distraction as an alternate thought which can help you in getting rid of that anxious thought which bothers you.
Normally it is very difficult to think about something else when you are anxious for example if someone is afraid of water and you take him to beach then, he will never involve in your discussion unless he has a very strong mind which can divert his attention from water.
You can distract a person from that fearful thought by implementing following suggestion but remember that these are only suggestion that can work for some people and may not work for some others.
Provide Something Other than the Feared Object or Thought
If you can provide that person with something else to think about but make sure that the other thought is strong enough to divert the attention of affected person. For example in above example of sea and a person with water phobia, if you talk about romance with that person then, it is possible that he will stop thinking about his water phobia.
You also need to know that distraction is only a temporary relief and when the distraction will end, person will start to feel same phobia or fear. You can use distraction as a temporary solution but do not over use this technique because in that way, you will skip some more powerful tools which can help you in a permanent solution to your problem.
