Every time I feel triggered to do so, I either listen to music or start writing everything down. Sometimes I even just take the pencil and the page and start scribbling until the urge is gone.
One thing that I have done recently is write the word inspiration on my arm. I used to wear a white string around my wrist to remind me that I am stronger than the urge, but about a month ago it fell off. I still carry it with me wherever I go though. Writing inspiration is just another little reminder, though.

Funny conversations with people, like CHESSMAID!
Do you ever get a little bit tired of life
Like you're not really happy but you don't wanna die
Like you're hanging by a thread but you gotta survive
'Cause you gotta survive
Do you wanna come with me? 'Cause if you do, then I should warn you - you're gonna see all sorts of things. Ghosts from the past. Aliens from the future. The day the Earth died in a ball of flame. It won't be quiet, it won't be safe, and it won't be calm. But I'll tell you what it will be: The trip of a lifetime!
Don't trust a perfect person and don't trust a song that's flawless.

Watching tv
snapping a rubberband on my wrist
Posting on here
From day one I talked about getting out
But not forgetting about
How all my worst fears are letting out
He said, "Why put a new address on the same old loneliness?"
When breathing just passes the time
Until we all just get old and die

I spend quality time with my cats. They save me more than anything else ever has.

I got a tattoo that says "love" on my wrist. I try to look at it and remind myself of the people I love and who loves me.
I don't feel ashamed of my scars any more. And even when I've relapsed, it doesn't have the same control on my brain that it used to. It doesn't completely consume me.

Cleaning, browsing TH, reading a really good book and chatting with people on FB
