Reading, having a tasty beverage, spend time with animals, cuddling with BF, going for a walk or a hike, try and do things like breathing exercises and not overthink things, planting/gardening.


For the past couple of years also been getting massages from RMT.

Slamming the tennis ball over and over at the backboard at the courts. It has a net line so it also helps my game somewhat.
Then coming home/shower/chill on the couch. That way I'm relaxed enough to think things through and pray. :)

If I feel a panic attack coming, I do meditation until I feel the panic subsiding. When I'm just stressed out, I usually just disconnect from work (it's almost always work related) and veg out in front of the TV, play some phone games, do crossword puzzles, or read fanfiction.

I am a stress cleaner. Organizing or straightening closets and drawers calms me. Exercising until I am exhausted also works.

Brisk walking or movement of some kind, followed by reorganizing and cleaning out drawers and closets.
