1. Be alone

2. Drink. Get drunk. I don’t recommend it. It works on the surface, but the cons outweigh the pros by a good bit.

3. I ground myself. In my head I count
   5 things I can see
   4 things I can hear
   3 things I can touch
   2 thinks I can smell
   And
   1 thing I can taste.

   I then sum up my situation rationally and by this point my brain has slowed down enough to think logically.

   It works most of the time.

4. Take a shower

5. Listen to music, go for a walk, meditation, nap, long shower.

6. I write.

7. Sit in the restroom or post bs on Reddit.

8. Turn on some music in my list.

9. Drink or play video games. Both have varying results and availability.

10. Square breathing

11. Listen to astrology podcasts

12. Smoke weed play video games

    If I have money – gun range

    Fuck

13. Stare at the tv at some series that i saw a couple of time like friends, 2 and a half men, bbt… so no brain needed for processing

14. Go spend time outside.

15. Disappear from people. Those who underhand this is my coping mechanism don’t create an issue about it. I get back to people when I’ve dealt with what I’m feeling.

16. cook myself an amazing meal

17. Work in my garage

18. BIG-OL-FATTY…….5 minutes later…..chill as ice…..!

19. Deep breath, tell myself that’s enough of that and just stop thinking about it.

20. Smoke a cigar and have a drink

21. A little kratom and “we the kings”

22. Go for a drive and blast music.

23. Go fishing.

24. Walk aimlessly around the city. If it’s sunny and I’m alone I’ll be jamming to some music.

25. Float on my back in my pool and close my eyes.

26. Light up a fine cigar, go for a drive and listen to some country music or 80s rock.
