Here are some funny facts to distract you

It's really time to take our mind off our troubles.

- Birjees Hussain

I read somewhere that if you are in a panic or extremely stressed about a situation, one of the most effective things you can do to distract your mind from that problem is to count backwards in 3s from 100.I think they believe that the mere effort of counting backwards in 3s from 100 makes you forget whatever was causing you to be panicky or in extreme stress mode. I also read somewhere that you should carry around with you a pack of very sour sweets. They have to be extremely sour to be effective.

Apparently sucking on one of these sweets when in panic mode immediately resets your brain because it’s now focusing on that very sour and tangy sweet which is popping all over your taste buds. Another person suggested having a small tub of Vicks on hand. Apparently rubbing it on certain points on your neck during a stressful moment, again distracts you because you are now more focussed on the cold, tingling sensation you are now experiencing. Some people say that the sour sweets and the Vicks are as powerful as taking a pill and much safer.
