I watch Tik Toks, Youtube, Netflix, and I do my skincare to destress my body. I like to meet up with friends just to distract my myself. It helps a lot.

1. Slow breathing: Inhale through nose and hold it in for 5 seconds and then out through your mouth for 7 seconds (until you feel like you lungs are empty)
2. Distractions: Play a game, fidget toy, listen to music, etc
3. Body Temp: Cool down your body by taking a cold shower, ice cube on skin, splashing cold water on your face
4. Intense Exercise: Running, pushups, jumping jacks (any fast and quick movement)
