  • 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.

    Omg lol I didn’t even know I could purchase stuff with the google home. I wouldn’t anyway because that’s silly to me but that’s funny if you’re right about it being their intent (I don’t doubt that you are). I got my google home for free or very cheap with my music streaming account.





  • It’s hugely dependent on a lot of factors but what I can say for sure that’s helped for me personally:

    • having more locally sourced options like farmers markets and local butchers
    • not having to commute to work every day (the extra time and energy saved means I’m much more willing to cook something healthy)
    • a healthier work/life balance
    • making more money… Buying local isn’t cheap.

    I know veggies, even when they’re not local, are cheaper than a lot of processed food but not when we’re talking convenience and energy spent. Having the energy to prep and cook fresh produce, as well as a local market within walking distance have been the biggest factors for me.

    I know I’m a pessimist but I feel like this is another one of those issues where we take the mask off and it’s just that monster capitalism underneath.
