This is a suggestion that’s come from a few of our followers! Baking can be a really tasty way of distracting yourself. Taking the time to weigh out the ingredients and following the recipe is a good way to focus your mind on something different. And if you mix it all up by hand, that’s a good way to keep your hands busy (and wear you out! Have you tried mixing batter by hand? Phew!)

And there’s something really satisfying about being able to eat and enjoy the treats you make. You could even share them with a pal to help brighten their day too!

Baking doesn’t have to be just sweet treats too. Have a search for some recipes for things like protein balls to give your body a healthy boost when you enjoy them!
