When I was bored at work with nothing to do, I'd start doodling with my pen. I'd start with whatever thought I had and gradually add to the picture making it as elaborate as possible.
We don't have to be an artist or even good at drawing but when we sit in silence, try picking up a pencil and paper and write or draw.
Drawing a picture takes your mind to another world so it's a good distraction as it stops the mind from thinking about worrying thoughts when we're bored. It keeps the mind trained and stops anxious feelings from building.
When I was low I used to write my feelings into poetry. It was a release for my feelings.
What we Mustn't do is sit and Think because we'll always think of something to worry about which will trigger anxious feelings.:hugs:
