Many ways, however..: Interesting question. Distraction can reduce pain (see http://www.Foxnews.Com/health/2012/05/18/distracted-mind-may-block-pain-signals/) but some theorize pain itself may serve to distract us from painful emotions! see http://www.Examiner.Com/article/your-brain-and-pain-a-mind-body-distraction-from-dealing-with-emotions there are many techniques for distracting your mind- see my comment:.
