**Preferably non-substance/drug

I’ll share a couple:

4 7 8 breathing

ears underwater

music/audio at slower speed (0.6-0.9)

Let’s hear em. I might want to do a series for various conditions or states so stay tuned and lets crowd-source this shit, enough of the “read my new/old 400pg tome for an introduction”. 🤮 Distill

    For short term relief/emotional regulation my counsellor taught me TIPP Temperature - cold water/ice/object to lower heart rate Intense exercise - a few mins of jumping jacks/running on the spot/shaking it off Paced breathing/box breathing Paired muscle relaxation - tense and relax different muscle groups

    When I’m anxious I tend to get overactive so the ones that help me most are splashing cold water on my face and the intense exercise.

    Anxiety during bedtime or if I have time during the day, ASMR or a well paced peaceful podcast also do the trick.

    I think I will try the slower speed music, that sounds interesting.
