Give me your best 30 second de-stressing technique

[hubes]

It just keeps getting crazier up in here.

[EmilieMadison]

Pour some whiskey into a glass. Drink.
It usually takes me even less than 30 seconds!

Wine, chocolate.

Deep breathing. Stop and focus.

Rip a big piece of paper in half really slowly.

Whoooooa. That gives me the shivers just thinking about it!!

That's weird, isnt it...

[zozo]

Smoke a joint!

I can't touch cotton. So no, I don't think that's weird. People have strange tactile/sensory aversions. I wonder why?

Close your right nostril with your thumb or index finger, close your mouth, and slowly inhale through your left nostril. Exhale through your mouth. Switch sides. Do that a few times and it will slow your body down/relax it.

You guys are awesome. I'm doing all of these.

It helps me to keep everything in perspective. I will ask myself "what's the worse that can happen?" and come up with a solution for that in my head. After that, the other things don't seem as bad.

I knew a kid in college who claimed this, so people in his classes put cotton balls all over his desk (he was in architecture/engineering) and they said he really did flip his shit and have to blow his desk clear. He would not touch them with any part of his body. So weird.

Close my eyes, take a deep breath and stretch my whole body from my fingers to my toes as I exhale.

Get in your car and scream.

Make sure no one is looking.

[partiallysunny]

Break a pencil.

And sometimes throw said pencil.
