I love Jack Stauber! I thoroughly enjoy Estranger. It's oddly soothing. I would recommend the slowed version, maybe even the extended version made by Skelerazer.

I usually go outside and then put myself in the most out-of-the-way space I can find. Up a tree, behind the shed, in the corner of a fence, whatever. Bonus points if I remembered to bring headphones, but if I didn't, I just stare at the sky and tear up dead leaves.

I have a lovely giant rock by the lake near my house that I go sit on. Sadly, ever since summer started its been covered in poison ivy so I can't sit there anymore :(

I have a small toy that i carry around everywhere and when I’m overthinking something, I’ll pretend I’m at a therapy session and that he’s my therapist. Then i talk it out with him and i eventually come to a conclusion. Its really myself talking to me, but it still helps!!

From over excitement?
I find something to focus on that requires attention. Play a game on my phone, solve a puzzle, untie a difficult knot.
From the other kind of excitement?
Have a pee, and think about all the work I need to get done.
From anger?
I speak to my wife. She has a calming effect on me. She has done more for me than anger management courses ever did. Without her, this world would be nothing but blood and cinders.

Walk in circles. To keep me busy, also. It’s very calming, to have a pattern and move my legs while also being able to absorb myself in my thoughts.

I fidget more than usual or I just escape into my own mind or I think about space

I'm not sure if this is considered odd but I listen to slowed soothing songs.
E.g Swing Lynn, After Dark, and etc.
Another thing I do is lie on the floor at night, and daydream about something that calms me.

I pick my nose. It’s very soothing, but gross at the same time. I have no plans on stopping it.

I haul my copy of What It’s Like To Be a Bird out from my shelf and just absorb as many facts and studies and graphs into my brain as I can. Or if I’m really mad I lock myself into the bathroom and stare at the wall and cry.
