Dr. Apurva M. @apurva_mehr...
Distraction means shifting or moving your attention away. It does not mean that the pain is no longer there. It just means that you use your brain to focus your attention onto something else. You can put your pain in the background and focus instead on playing games, counting, using breathing techniques and many other activities. One of the things that you can do to limit the amount of time you spend worrying about or being afraid of pain, is to use distraction.

Absolutely correct! Another thing is also to focus on schoolwork or any type of work to stay busy. To keep the brain occupied.
