I very intentionally slow everything I do down enough to be thoroughly thoughtful and purposeful in every movement, every sentence, every thought. It helps me stay calm under immense amounts of external pressure and/or internal panic. It stops me from making highly-avoidable mistakes because I'm rushing. If you feel yourself starting to tip into overwhelm and panic, channel your inner sloth.

That, and log out of all social media for several days. Anytime I feel my anxiety ramping, I start to feel better within 24 hours of logging out and fully forgetting social media exists.

Get myself a tiny snack

Distract myself with books or tv.

Smoke a joint and play my banjo.
