Great article on distraction...informative...distraction can be a large component of depression, since many of the non-activities that the writer cited lead to procrastination, which ultimately feed low self esteem, low acheivement and stress in not meeting daily tasks...laziness. Dig in to this web site from the UK...it is filled with English humor and sarcasm, along with well written articles on many subjects. An interesting dig.

I have been thinking about meditation. I agree that continualdistraction doesn't seem to help depression, sounds reasonable that it might make it worse......

From the page: "Distraction addicts often seek more and more intensity of distraction, but never feel satisfied. That's because intensity is a state of mind, not an external pursuit. As a mental state, it's closer to focus than distraction. In other words, the best thing for thrill-seekers is to sit in a quiet room learning how to concentrate."
