  • shut down all my senses by closing my eyes and lying down for at least 10min like i'm in some sort of isolation tank. it's super under-stimulating tho so depending on what overwhelmed me it won't work
  • shower, warm then cold. i like the transition / ritual, it's simpler than a workout and almost just as effective
  • try to solve someone else's problem (if they're okay with it) to regain some sense of control
  • watch what sb else is doing to regain perspective, especially kids, dogs, birds doing their thing. sometimes i just look out the window, my view is interesting
