Suffering occurs when you are experiencing certain negative feelings or pain feelings. Distraction is not the key to removing sufferings, unfortunately. Distractions only serve to distract the pain, it's not healing.
You suffer not because of the negativity but because of the way you reacted. It's not easy to gasp the meaning of what i said.
'Not to react but to respond wisely'
Every time there's negativity, the first reaction is often to escape or to face it and complain/suffer about it. It is a habit of reaction that we built over time, it's a unwise reaction that we are not conscious of. The suffering is not coming from that pain but from your reaction.
Be slow to that pain feeling, breath in slowly. Be careful not to react. Then you respond that feeling with a awareness.
Knowing the words is simply not enough, practicing it is the wisest way. Suffering will prove to be your divine opening to a new life.
