It is helpful to learn to recognize your triggers and signs so you can stop the activity when you notice the trigger or signs of starting to be triggered.
By this, I mean things like getting visually or auditorily confused. If you have a momentary 'deer in the head lights' feeling, that is a sign of trouble coming. Don't try to shake it off and keep going.
There are plenty of activities we can do without triggering trouble. Walks, working in a garden, enjoying watching kids play from a distance, etc. What ever you do, try to not let yourself get frustrated. I like to work on cars. I have learned not to get upset when I smash my knuckles. It still hurts but it does not upset me. If I let it upset me, I will need to stop because I will not be able to focus on the task.
