You're wanting to do something. You want to put your best foot forward How do you calm down because for me? I feel like I Don't know. I just I feel like this is something I personally try to figure out but can never really resolve and I get impatient not gonna lie But Something I try to do is distract myself with music.

So this is a really hard skill, especially if you have emotional dysregulation So I have like a meter in my head and I think it's good to be self-aware enough to recognize when that meter is in the red and you want to get it back down to amber or green and You really have to make sure you don't react to anybody like text messages especially Music is a good way.

I believe there's a specific way you react to anxiety. I believe it's like name three things you can see, name two things you can touch. One thing that makes you smile that is like off the top of my head. There's like a specific way that you do it. And it really helps you bring you back to the present. But again, it's such a hard skill to practice because when you're in the moment, you're just surrounded by emotion and it powers you.

So, personally I like to go out for a walk, or if I'm not able to do that at the time, maybe do a bit of meditation, focus on my breathing and stuff like that, they really help. And music is a great thing to use as well, but it all depends on the issue.

I take a nap. Taking a nap is so relieving. I take a nap if I'm like feeling some type of way, you know, or if I get anxious or if I get anxiety like I start thinking about the past or something and I'm like, why did I do that in that conversation? I could have said this. I could have said that. I knock out. That's about it.

Um, that's a good one the thing about music right is that if you're like upset this goes for like almost any emotion, right? if you're like angry listening to stuff like that kids like That just depends on what kind of metal but if you are listening to metal and you're upset or whatever It's probably gonna make you even more upset as far as like anger goes Same thing with if you're sad if you're sad and you're listening to you know sad music you're gonna be even more sad So you have to kind of switch the vibe on whatever you're listening
